Coalition of Colorado Campus Alcohol and Drug Educators

Health, Safety, and Well-being Alcohol and Other Drug Wellness and Health Promotion Mid-Level

For over 20 years, the Coalition of Colorado Campus Alcohol and Drug Educators (CADE) has supported college and university prevention efforts across the state. CADE Project Staff support Colorado institutions of higher education to implement evidence-based programs focusing on educational dissemination/programming, environmental management/policy change, or professional development.

CADE is managed by the Health, Safety, and Well-being Initiatives team of NASPA. Please email [email protected] with any inquiries.

About

From 2005 to 2020, NASPA was awarded grant funding through the Colorado Office of Behavioral Health to address collegiate alcohol and other drug abuse prevention. Now, CADE receives funding through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to continue to prioritize alcohol and other drug prevention on college campuses. The CADE supports collegiate prevention efforts by helping facilitate data collection surrounding alcohol and other drug use behaviors, creating online professional development opportunities for prevention teams, and providing technical assistance for all campus professionals in the state.

Mission: CADE is a coalition of Colorado institutions of higher education dedicated to creating healthier communities for college students to live, work, learn, and grow. CADE supports health and well-being training, technical assistance, partnerships, educational programming, and professional development for all Colorado colleges and universities.
