The Northside Urban Coalition is a Drug Free Communities project of the Hawthorne Neighborhood Council’s Health & Well-being initiative. NSUC is focused on preventing youth substance use in North Minneapolis and educates them to build trust in authority, live stress free and maintain a safe living and working environment.
The Northside Urban Coalition project will address:
Opioids use
Marijuana awareness
Underage smoking
Underage drinking
Trauma
Professionals and Community partners will discuss vaping and why people do vs those who don’t vape. We will also explore the underage smoking increase.

We want to invite you to the upcoming 12th Annual Community Empowerment Through Black Men Healing Conference. The theme of the conference is the “Intersections of Community Health”.
