To our Travis County Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition (TCYSAPC) family, membership, and community: TCYSAPC has been working with Kids Living Well (KLW) for the past year and this partnership has been one that has brought about a tremendous amount of good to the community. For all future endeavors, the 2 coalitions will no longer operate separately but will merge. Kids Living Well incorporates a whole health approach to address youth substance use prevention in our community. We are excited about this transition.
