A Healthy Burlington Starts with You.

We are Burlington, Vermont’s substance misuse prevention coalition.

WHO WE ARE

The Burlington Partnership for a Healthy Community (BPHC) brings together community and public health partners to address the causes and consequences of substance misuse in our city and create a healthier place for people to live, work, and play.

We work on local strategies to reduce things contributing to substance misuse and increase things that support healthier, safer spaces for everyone. 

Our ParentIN program offers parents and caregivers of adolescents in Burlington free tips, tools, and support to help children make healthy choices. 

We inspire and empower Burlington youth to be leaders in supporting health in their community through education and programming.
