BeSmart Norfolk Plainville Wrentham Wellness Coalition

Mission Statement

The BeSmart Coalition is a group of students, parents, and professionals organized to promote safety and wellness for teens and their families in the King Philip community.

Vision

The King Philip Community is a place where:

• There is a network of caring and responsible adults who are working together to promote the safety and wellness of teens and families

• Teens are empowered to make good and healthy decisions,

• Teens who "choose to not use" chemicals are connected and supported

• Students have a voice, are taken seriously, and serve on advisory committees

• Coaches, advisors, and their athletic teams and activity groups take a stand against chemical use and dangerous decisions

• Parents, schools, and the community provide a variety of safe gathering places, fun activities, learning and leadership opportunities

• The community works together to limit access to chemicals, and prosecutes anyone who allows teens to possess alcohol
