Mission Statement
The Howell Township Municipal Alliance collaborates across the community to prevent substance abuse, underage drinking, alcoholism, tobacco use, teen vaping, and other at-risk behaviors through prevention awareness, education, and programs. It also promotes mental well-being and reduction of the stigmas associated with substance use and mental health disorders. Alliance stakeholders include police officers, educators, town officials, businesses, local organizations, and concerned citizens. The Alliance is part of the Governor’s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (GCADA).
