About CHANT

The Community Health Alliance of North Tonawanda (CHANT) is a community-based coalition that began in 2014 and funded    by the federal Drug-Free Communities grant in September of 2017. As a community based coalition, CHANT works collectively to                   reduce and prevent North Tonawanda youth from using substances such as alcohol, heroin, cigarettes,                           vaping and non-prescribed opioids. 
 
The current role of CHANT in NT is to assess community needs and resources, analyze problems and goals, and develop an action plan / interventions to produce change, and increase capacity through participation and membership.
