Marin’s leader in underage substance use prevention

Marin Healthy
Youth Partnerships

Promoting healthy environments that support youth well-being and reduce underage substance use.

Healthy Youth. Stronger Communities

Preventing youth substance use takes more than individual choices. It takes healthy environments, informed communities, and policies that support young people. Through a community-based process, MHYP brings partners together across Marin County to address the conditions that influence youth health and well-being.

How to navigate youth substance use in Marin County.

POLICY AND PREVENTION
Advancing evidence-based policies and community practices that reduce youth access to substances and create healthier environments.

RAISING THE BAR
Keeping youth events substance free.

YOUTH ENGAGEMENT
Elevating youth voices and creating opportunities for young people to help shape healthier communities.

The choices we make today about how we support youth will shape the health and vitality of Marin for generations to come.
Prioritizing the health and wellbeing of children and youth is essential to the long-term health, resilience, and sustainability of our community.
Young people are not just the future of a community, they are a reflection of its present values. When we invest in youth, we invest in the kind of community we want to be.

Our Story

MHYP builds on more than 15 years of community-led prevention in Marin. What began as a local coalition in the Twin Cities and Ross Valley became an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2020. Since then, we have grown from serving a handful of communities to a countywide coalition serving youth and families in every part of Marin. Our growth reflects the trust of our partners and a shared belief that prevention works.
