Who is CADCA?

CADCA is a non-profit organization representing adult and youth coalition leaders throughout the United States and internationally—all working to make their communities safe, healthy and drug- free. CADCA has built a network of more than 5,000 community anti-drug coalitions and brings together sectors of the community to solve their local substance abuse problems—schools, businesses, parents and youth, law enforcement, healthcare providers, faith-based organizations, and many more. Our model for community change represents a comprehensive, evidenced-based multi-sector approach to reduce underage and binge drinking, tobacco, illicit drugs and the abuse of medicines.

National Leadership Forum

CADCA’s National Leadership Forum is a 3.5-day event packed with opportunities to learn the latest strategies to fight substance abuse and hear from nationally known prevention experts, federal administrators, and concerned policymakers. The Forum brings together over 3,000 participants representing coalitions from all regions of the country and internationally, government leaders, prevention specialists, addiction treatment professionals, addiction recovery advocates, researchers, education institutions, law enforcement professionals, youth, and faith-based leaders.

Don’t miss out on this unparalleled opportunity to be part of a global movement dedicated to substance misuse prevention. Aligned with CADCA’s vision of creating safer, healthier, and stronger communities everywhere, the Forum offers valuable resources and strategies to enhance your efforts. Engage in hands-on training, participate in dynamic discussions, and be inspired by success stories from coalitions that have made a tangible impact. Together, we can turn knowledge into action and create lasting change.
