Prevention takes a village.

PG Cares is an evidence-based prevention coalition working to strengthen families, build community resilience, and reduce the risk of addiction, abuse, and suicide.

We work to foster well-being for individuals, families, schools, and businesses in our community. We offer classes, community events, and information on local resources in order to create a safe and connected community.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to raising awareness, removing stigmas, and facilitating education and resources around the tough issues we face in our families and as a community.

“Thank you for the Guiding Good Choices Parenting workshop. It can be hard to find the time, but you have made it possible by providing dinner and helping with the kids. Otherwise, I know I wouldn’t have had access to the amazing information that I know will help my family.”
PG Mom

“The QPR Suicide Prevention Training class is for everyone. I didn’t think I would need them, but I have used the skills I learned in the training, even in my own classroom. I am so grateful for what I learned in this class. It really can help save lives.”
PG Elementary Educator

“I loved the United Way EveryDay Strong Resilience training. It’s like the parenting manual I’ve always wanted to have! I loved learning how to build my kids’ confidence, which is always a concern as a parent.”
PG Mom

Connection is the best Prevention. Communities, schools, families, and individuals all play an important role in creating connectedness and safety.

We work to decrease the risk factors and increase protective factors of addiction, abuse, and suicide by collecting Pleasant Grove data and implementing our outcome-focused plans through education, outreach, and evidence-based initiatives.

”Positive Action Club has been such a fun class to teach. I have seen students learn to feel safe in their own lives. I have seen students dealing with hard home lives find some peace as we teach them techniques to understand things that are in their control and things that aren't. It has been such a good reminder to myself as well to remember that my thoughts equal my actions equal how I feel about myself. I'm more at peace with myself and the world around me.
