Mission Statement
The mission of P.V.H.I. is to help and support people in the Maine & New Hampshire community in their efforts to lead substance-free healthy, happy and rewarding lives. Our organization will provide for the exchange of information, and the leveraging of all resources in an effort to identify school and community needs on substance abuse prevention and recovery.
We will create environmental solutions that reduce youth substance use by identifying and implementing evidence based programs and best practices that encourage healthy lifestyle choices. We aim to strengthen the health, well-being, and the success of the community by identifying resources and facilitating access to those resources.
The Fryeburg Area Coalition is a partnership of residents, organizations, and businesses with a primary focus on a healthier future.
