PRINCETON — The Bureau/Putnam County Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) is sharing its guidance and experience with similar coalitions around the state.

CPASA coordinator Dawn Conerton said members of the recently-established Rock Island Community Against Substance Abuse coalition as well as representatives of the Citizens Against Substance Abuse of Woodford County attended CPASA’s September meeting held at the Bureau/Putnam County Health Department in Princeton. The representatives asked to come to the meeting to see how CPASA operates, handles its meetings and works toward its goals. Following the meeting, several CPASA members stayed to share more with the visitors, Conerton said.

CPASA members have also met with a substance abuse coalition in Ottawa, Conerton said.
