Promoting healthy communities in Hillsborough County free of substance abuse and addiction through education, collaboration and advocacy
Tobacco Free Partnership Hillsborough (State Tobacco Grant). Continued funding has allowed the Partnership to provide leadership on community issues related to tobacco including prevention, cessation, second hand smoke, smoke free multi unit housing, and workplace wellness. Grantee staff and board members possess a wealth of experience in public health theories and practice, which allows the Partnership to continue propelling the mission of Tobacco Free Florida forward. Smoke free multi-unit housing is moving forward with collaborative partnerships with Tampa Housing Authority and the Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County to promote the benefits of 100% tobacco-free public housing. Partnership members and staff have been meeting with residents of public housing to assist at they go tobacco free. This is a critical step in eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke. There is a very successful youth component called Students Working Against Tobacco or SWAT that is very active in our schools and in the community. These students advocate against big tobacco and promote a tobacco free life style with their peers. The Partnership and SWAT have been working on "Point of Sale" strategies to reduce the influence of storefront advertising, which normalizes the use of tobacco products.
Our contract with the Florida Department of Children and Families as managed through Central Florida Behavioral Health Network allows HCADA to facilitate a community planning process for the prevention and reduction of substance abuse. HCADA uses the Strategic Prevention Framework public health approach recommended by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. This model recognizes that no institution or organization alone can address these issues. It is only through strong community support and collaboration that we can make the necessary changes to make Hillsborough County safe and free from substance abuse and addiction. Our strategic plans developed through this process are re evaluated and updated annually. HCADA currently has a plan of action through each task force for prevention and reduction of underage drinking, marijuana use, tobacco use, and prescription drug abuse. In addition, we have mobilized the community to form a DEN (drug epidemiology network) in our community to conduct a full assessment of the opioid crises and its impact on Hillsborough County.
