CPWI is a community and school-based model for delivering prevention programs and strategies to reduce underage misuse and abuse of alcohol, marijuana, opioids, tobacco, and other drugs. This model uses a data-informed, community-level decision making process to determine root social and emotional causes that predict problem behaviors. •Tobacco Prevention and Education Program: Works to decrease youth and adult use of tobacco through education and outreach, as well as supporting policies to reduce exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. Below are links to information about smoking and vaping as well resources to support quit attempts: - Quitline: call the Washington State Tobacco Quitline at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669) • Alcohol & Marijuana Abuse Prevention: Walla Walla County Department of Community Health has a contract with the Washington State Department of Health to coordinate the Youth Marijuana Prevention and Education Program (YMPEP) in the nine-county Greater Columbia Accountable Communities of Health region.Through the YMPEP we provide information and resources to reduce use and access to marijuana by youth ages 12-20.
