What is a Regional Action Council (RAC)?

Regional Action Councils (RACs) were created by
the Legislature in 1989 to help our struggling local communities fight the "War on Drugs."  The 14
Regional Action Councils bring key constituency
groups together to reduce substance abuse, and
provide training, education, and prevention
programming to their respective communities. 

Recognizing that alcohol and other drug abuse leads to a host of other social problems like violence, teen pregnancy, drunk driving, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDS infection and suicide, the RAC's promote broad based prevention programming that addresses all of these issues.

Because Regional Action Councils are led by local educators, parents, business persons, social service providers, law enforcement officials, clergy, government leaders, and youth, these organizations are responsive, focused, and tailored to meet your community's specific needs.

All RAC Directors are required to be certified by the State of Connecticut as Prevention Professionals which means your RAC offers the highest quality prevention programs available in the state.

Contact Your local Regional Action Council to learn about the following prevention, education, and awareness programs/services available in your community.
