Franklin County is a progressive community. It has a tradition of faith, it is aware of its heritage, protective of its environment and natural beauty, committed to quality education and cultural enrichment, and enterprising in its economy and government. The Franklin County Coalition was established in 2007. Since its inception the coalition has been successful in bringing together key stakeholders in all parts of the county to plan collaboratively and leverage their resources to address the communities identified needs to prevent and reduce substance abuse while we have grown the coalition’s capacity to implement evidence-based strategies to promote environmental change. The Franklin Co. Prevention Coalition is funded through the State of Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services Block Grant, Drug Endangered Children- Tennessee Bureau of Investigations, Project Lifeline, State Opioid Response - TDMHSA, Tennessee Prevention Network, State Opioid Response Coalitions, local in-kind contributions and local donations. The state and federal funding dollars are our primary source of funding to implement environmental strategies of change in our community. Our county, like many other counties in the state of Tennessee, do not have the local funds to provide prevention support services.
