Community Services

Connection and Education for a Healthier Community

From small-group sessions to Community Conversations, Sylvania Prevention Alliance is dedicated to educating the Sylvania community on the latest drug and alcohol prevention and other youth-related topics (e.g., screen time, vaping, stress, mental health). In addition, we spread awareness about what to look for, how to stop problems before they start, and how to create a healthy, safe environment for a better overall community.

Don't Be a Party to Teenage Drinking

Did you know party hosts can be held responsible for the death of or injuries to intoxicated minors who were given alcohol by the host or even consumed alcohol at a party the host consented to? In short, being a party to teenage drinking is against the law. As adults, we need to make good choices just as we expect of our children.

Maintaining Community Responsibility

Drug and alcohol prevention means keeping tabs on those who are the gatekeepers of our children’s wellbeing. Sylvania Prevention Alliance is committed to making sure local businesses, and other entities stay responsible and compliant when not serving and selling alcohol to minors.

Community Responsibility - Check

Hosting an event that serves alcohol? Keep our community safe and your organization compliant with our easy-to-use ID checkers. The convenience of digital ID scanners keeps your lines short and gives confidence to your ID check process.

Training for Intervention ProcedureS (TiPS)

Certain skills are necessary to sell and serve alcohol responsibly, and Sylvania Prevention Alliance is steadfast in making sure such training is available to those on the front lines. Owners, managers, and staff of establishments that sell/serve alcohol have the opportunity to take classes from our TiPS-trained Sylvania Prevention Alliance staff members. Sylvania Prevention Alliance also provides training to owners and employees referred by the Sylvania court system due to alcohol sale infractions.

Not Sure What to Do with Those Old Rx Drugs?

Prescription drug abuse by teens is a huge issue. Limit the opportunity by safely and responsibly discarding your old prescription drugs through our Drug Take-Back program in April & October.

In addition to our Drug Drop-Off Day, permanent drug collection units are available 24/7 at local police stations and pharmacies.
