The Illinois Alliance on Reducing Underage Drinking was formed in early 2020. The Alliance expanded its focus to include youth cannabis use prevention and formally changed names in September 2022. The Alliance has been renamed to reflect the change - Illinois Alliance on Reducing Youth Substance Use. The Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention & Recovery leads the charge, which allows stakeholders to:

  • Share current youth substance use prevention efforts being implemented in the State of Illinois.
  • Share information on best practices to reduce youth substance use.
  • Share data and research on efforts to reduce youth substance use.
  • Review the Illinois STOP ACT report.
  • Unify prevention efforts in the State of Illinois.

Currently, the Alliance meets virtually every quarter. If interested, please reach out to the APRC.
