Levittown Organization Focused At Substance-Abuse Prevention Rebrands

LEVITTOWN, NY — The Levittown Community Action Coalition (LCAC) is taking steps to deepen its commitment to teaching about substance misuse.

The LCAC is a prevention organization aimed to reduce the number of lives who are impacted by addiction.

To create a greater impact and strengthen relationships with Levittown, LCAC announced the hire of Hannah Moore as their new project coordinator.

Moore, from Long Beach, received a bachelor's degree in Integrative Neuroscience from Binghamton University and a master’s degree in Public Health from University College Dublin in Ireland.

“We have a tremendous team here at LCAC and I look forward to continuing my work in public health by implementing prevention strategies at the community level," Moore said. "We’re making a great impact within the community by empowering our youth and other members of the public to be strong and visible leaders in prevention."

They also launched a new brand identity and website for education. There are local news and events regarding prevention and information on topics such as underage drinking, marijuana use and the non-medical use of opioids.

The site features resources to bring families in Levittown and surrounding areas facts regarding the risks associated with various substances, as well as steps to ensure a healthier community.

Tool kits filled with prevention information and guides will help make it easier and encourage parents and youth to have an open dialog about the dangers of particular substances and how to cope with peer pressure. The integration of these support vehicles elevates the LCAC brand as the coalition expands its reach throughout the Levittown community.

The LCAC was founded in 2015.
