Reading Coalition For Prevention and Support
About
The Reading Coalition for Prevention and Support is a town-funded program that promotes mental health, prevents substance misuse and strengthens the wellbeing of Reading youth and families. Based at the Reading Police Department, it provides prevention education, mental health counseling and crisis response services. Its staff include a coalition director, an outreach coordinator, a public safety clinician and a child and adolescent clinician.
Reading taxpayers fund the coalition at about $12 per resident, giving it an annual budget of roughly $318,000, and it describes its support as cost-efficient. Alongside clinical work it takes part in community programs, including events for moms and the downtown trick-or-treat. The coalition shares news and resources on Instagram and Facebook, and residents can sign up for notifications through the town website.
