BRATTLEBORO — Windham County Prevention Partnership (WCPP) – a coalition consisting of West River Valley Thrives, Building a Positive Community, and Deerfield Valley Community Partnership – is encouraging everyone to go “Substance Free” during the month of September.

According to WCPP, substances “can be anything we use out of habit to comfort ourselves in times of stress, uncertainty, loneliness, or boredom. Examples include alcohol, cannabis, sugar, or caffeine.”

The organization urges people “to join us on a powerful and transforming journey this September prioritizing substance over substances for the full month,” adding that “this is a fantastic way to reclaim your mental and physical well-being, boost your energy and attention, discover new loves and activities, and create healthy habits for long-term wellness.”
