Compact

COMPACT’s goal is to assist families across Shelby County by providing them with up-to-date information and available resources to guide teens back to a substance-free, happy, healthy lifestyle without entering the juvenile justice system.

The team is implementing strategies aimed at reducing substance misuse and promoting mental wellness by:
• raising awareness & educating citizens on risk factors;
• identifying at-risk youth and building mentor relationships with students;
• promoting available resources
• implementing new prevention strategies; and
• using community-based law enforcement approaches.

COMPACT’s volunteer led prevention teams educate, engage, and empower their local communities. The teams include representatives from different sectors of the community including youth, parents, schools, businesses, media, law enforcement, local government, faith-based organizations, healthcare, and civic organizations.
