The Coalition
Student Leadership Team
Youth are the heart and brains behind SRSLY. The Student Leadership Team leads our coalition in planning fun events, creating positive community change, addressing harmful behaviors, and promoting healthy lifestyles. Their goal is to help both youth and adults connect, build skills, and strengthen the community.

Adult Community Team
We collaborate with adults from all sectors of the community, including schools, parents, law enforcement, healthcare professionals, faith-based organizations, businesses, civic and volunteer groups, youth-serving organizations, media, substance use organizations, and government agencies.
History
2009
Chelsea Hospital established a wellness foundation to support health promotion in each of the five towns within its service area, including Stockbridge. The foundation brought together leaders from various sectors to support each community to address four priority areas: eating better, moving more, connecting with others in healthy ways, and avoiding unhealthy substances.
From the beginning, Stockbridge leaders recognized the need to focus specifically on youth substance abuse prevention to maximize the impact and community benefits of their efforts.
2012-2013
Stockbridge looked to a nearby community with a flourishing coalition as a role model for success. In Chelsea, the SRSLY coalition had been working to prevent youth substance abuse since 2008. Stockbridge leaders began working with SRSLY leaders to learn from their experience and efforts.
Because of SRSLY's strong brand recoginition and fun, positive feel, Stockbridge leaders decided to establish themselves as SRSLY Stockbridge in 2013.
We have big plans for our future and could use you on our team!
