UNIDAD stands for Uniting Neighbors In Drug Abuse Defence. We are comprised of 12 different sectors of the community, which include school districts, police departments, universities, mental health agencies, and other youth-servicing organizations, among others. Through evidence-based environmental strategies, we aim to mobilize communities in hidalgo County to change policy and social norms. Our focus is preventing and reducing underage drinking, marijiana use, and prescription drug abuse. With educational presentations, and information dissemination at community events, we want to promote a safe, healthy Hidalgo County.
