Through the collaborative efforts of the Creating Positive Change (CPC), Community and Schools Together (CAST), Hinsdale Prevention Coalition (HPC), and Monadnock Alcohol and Drug Abuse Coalition (MADAC), the Monadnock Region was the recipient of a State grant to synchronize the experience and expertise of these groups, and to provide a more coordinated and uniform effort to reduce underage and binge drinking in the Monadnock Region.  The four groups collaboratively form Monadnock Voices for Prevention.  

It is the hope and intention that the coalitions, youth & adult volunteers, schools, law enforcement, business, social service agencies, government and programs that for years have been working in their communities to address drug and alcohol use, and abuse, will partner with the Monadnock Voices for Prevention Oversight Board, staff, and fiscal agent (Monadnock Collaborative) in the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of a regional wide system to support and enhance strategies to reduce underage alcohol use, binge drinking and build community resiliency. 

The four coalitions serve Antrim, Bennington, Chesterfield, Dublin, Fitzwilliam, Francestown, Gilsum, Greenfield, Greenville, Hancock, Harrisville, Hinsdale, Jaffrey, Keene, Marlborough, Marlow, Mason, Nelson, New Ipswich, Peterborough, Richmond, Rindge, Roxbury, Sharon, Stoddard, Sullivan, Surry, Swanzey, Temple, Troy, Westmoreland, and Winchester.
