It's that time of year again, when the North Kitsap and Bremerton Substance Abuse Prevention Coalitions invite you to participate in their annual community survey.
The goal is to assess attitudes, beliefs, and practices related to youth substance use and behavioral health in our community.
The completed surveys will be utilized to guide our work, and to develop effective substance abuse prevention programs for our community.
