Harm reduction activities addressing substance abuse in Barton County have been in place for more than 20 years.
About Our Kids, Inc., a seasoned youth development organization, has served as a grounding force by pursuing and implementing evidence-based practices.
Currently, a multi-sector partnership (healthcare, education, substance abuse, behavioral health, faith-based and law enforcement) identifies and addresses community needs.
As the coalition grew to include three Southwest Missouri counties, the concept of establishing a regional fundraising tool would assist in area-wide harm reduction pursuits.
The result is the Rural Communities Coalition, a 501c3 not-for-profit created to support harm reduction in the areas of health and wellness in Barton, Jasper, Vernon, Cedar and Dade Counties in Missouri.
