THRIVE Alliance

THRIVE Alliance Bedford | Lewisboro | Pound Ridge

THRIVE is a driving force for combating today's mental health and substance abuse challenges by fostering healthy lifestyles through education, resources, and strategies in the Bedford, Lewisboro, and Pound Ridge communities. 

The Council is comprised of members from each of the three participating towns including Bedford, Lewisboro, and Pound Ridge, and provides:

  • Research-based information on drugs and alcohol including how to identify alcohol and drug abuse and how it affects families and communities;
  • Public forums on important topics and issues related to alcohol and drug abuse prevention and mental health promotion;
  • Resources for intervention; and
  • Strategies for substance misuse prevention.

In addition, the Council works to address the primary and underlying causes of alcohol and drug substance misuse. 

The Council is a six-member board serving two-year terms, which includes a four-member steering committee, and is supported by a Program Coordinator.  The Council meets monthly and welcomes participation from community members.
