The CLFC Program is designed to improve the family’s ability to provide a nurturing environment for each other in an effective and meaningful way. Families are encouraged to improve their personal growth by increasing self-awareness, expression of feelings, interpersonal communication, and self-disclosure.

The sessions teach social skills, refusal skills, and appropriate knowledge and healthy beliefs about alcohol and drugs, which provide a strong defense against environmental risk factors that can lead to negative outcomes for youth. The CLFC Program also provides caregivers and other caring adults with family management, family enhancement, and communications training. All participants are provided opportunities to practice these skills in a safe, peer-group setting and a family dinner is provided to give the caregivers and youth the opportunity to sit, eat, and talk together.

The Strengthening Families Program is a fun 14-week evidence-based program that teaches effective communication techniques: insight on clear communication, effective discipline, resisting peer pressure, and dealing with stress. Caregivers and children participate both separately and together, and family dinner is provided to give the caregivers and youth the chance to sit, eat, and talk together.

The Wellness Initiative for Senior Education Program (WISE) is a wellness and prevention program for older adults to help them celebrate healthy aging, make healthy lifestyle choices, and avoid substance misuse.

Each week, our seniors gather in this small group to learn about things like nutrition, stress management, medication management, and other health & wellness topics. Our goal is to provide them with practical tools that they can use in everyday life to live LONGER, HEALTHIER lives.

When our WISE graduates walk away from this program, they have newfound knowledge about how their bodies age, how aging affects their ability to drink and take drugs safely, how to recognize early signs of mental health issues, how to implement a healthier lifestyle, and most importantly — how to feel empowered in their ability to take control of their own health.

Learn about a balanced diet, eating healthy on a budget, what nutrition labels mean, and more, including social skills, opportunities for the senior population, and community connection for the program participants.

OCOF Coalition's Mission is to engage, advocate, inform, and bring awareness of substance misuse through education, prevention, enforcement, and action to build a safe and drug-free community amongst our youth population.

Our monthly meetings, workshops, training, and community events are open to all residents of Elizabeth and Union County.

Gives parents/caregivers in the community a space to gather and bond with one another.

This is a weekly youth program that teaches youth about substance use and how they can help prevent substance misuse in the community. This program is aimed at promoting protective factors against substance use disorder, like learning financial management skills, increasing social connection amongst peers, and more. Youth are provided with dinner once a week.

Girls work on setting goals through exercises and discussions. Each season ends with a non-competitive 5K, where girls celebrate who they are, how far they have come and where they want to go. The girls will learn more about themselves, become independent and critical thinkers, develop skills to write their own stories, and find inner strength through physical activity.

Community members are welcome to join us during the spring and summer seasons to tend our outdoor community garden.
