Community Coalition
Mission: To promote through collaboration, a healthy community free of substance abuse for
youth and those who live in, work in and/or visit Royal Oak. Detailed Mission Statement
Vision: Preventing substance abuse by sustaining and strengthening a safe and healthy community, together.
Annual Reports
The Coalition seeks collaboration and coordination to accomplish goals and objectives that need to be done to promote prevention efforts. Prevention efforts cannot be addressed by one entity alone. Alcohol, tobacco and other drug use and abuse are a community problem that requires community solutions. The key to changing this social/health problem is though multi-strategies by multi-sectors. Everyone has a role to play. Our function is to give opportunity, direction and technical assistance.
We foster partnerships with businesses, organizations and other non-profits by offering opportunities for involvement in strengthening and sustaining a healthy and safe community to prevent substance abuse. A major function of a Drug Free Community Coalition is to build community capacity. Capacity building involves mobilizing human, organizational, and financial resources to meet project goals. The annual report is for the us to show the community our efforts.

Coalition of Healthy Communities (CHC): The Royal Oak Prevention Coalition is an original member of this umbrella organization that includes prevention coalotions encompassing a11 surrounding communities. Recognizing that our neighbors must also see success in their prevention efforts, we support each other and often work together.
Overview
The Coalition addresses substance abuse issues by forming partnerships with community groups, stakeholders and individuals to work collaboratively to create a healthier community environment.
Coalition activities address the personal, social, economic, legal and health consequences of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Goals and objectives are derived from an assessment of needs based on local data and community input.. The prevention framework used as our foundation is the Search Institute’s, research based "Healthy Youth-Healthy Communities" consisting of 40 Developmental Assets.
Assets Defined
Many factors influence why some young people have successes in life and why others struggle. The Search Institute of Minneapolis has identified 40 developmental assets that help young people make wise decisions, choose positive paths, and grow up competent, caring and responsible.
Youth with a high number of assets:
- Experience greater protection from high-risk behavior
- Are more likely to have positive attitudes and behaviors

Press Release - April 2009
The Royal Oak Community Coalition Outperforms National Benchmarks
Distinction Means Healthier Youth and Families in Royal Oak
The Royal Oak Community Coalition (ROCC) recently received exceptionally high marks from the federal government. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) is the branch of the federal government that funds Drug Free Community coalitions and additionally rates the progress of Drug Free coalitions across the United States. The Royal Oak Community Coalition is in its fourth year of federal funding and was rated on a range of developmental stages based on their capacity, resources, and ability to perform primary functions.
Battelle Centers for Public Health Research and Evaluation is the federally contracted agency that conducted the research comparing Drug Free Coalitions across the United States.
The bar chart below summarizes the Royal Oak Community Coalitions Stage of Development compared to all coalitions in the United States who received DFC funding beginning in the same award year.
This chart demonstrates the high level of achievement made by Royal Oak Community Coalition and its ability to establish a high functioning non-profit organizational infrastructure. Organizations with a strong infrastructure are able to implement successful prevention projects and initiatives. Elizabeth Bauer of the Michigan State Board of Education said, “Your Board and staff are making a significant contribution to the Royal Oak Community and communities beyond your borders.”
Royal Oak Community Coalition compared to National benchmarks
Jack Claypoole, Chief Administrator of the National Office of Drug Control Policy sent accolades for a job well done!
The Coalition Administration, staff and boards extends a heartfelt thanks to the hundreds of community partners, supporters and volunteers for overwhelming dedication, hours of service and effort you give to help our community to sustain a healthy and safe environment. “It takes measured effort by everyone to do what they reasonably can within the strength based framework embraced by the Coalition”, Diane Dovico, Executive Director.
Diane Dovico, Executive Director, Richard Granke, President, Melanie Daugherty, National City Bank Manager,
Jennifer Sheridan, Executive Assistant ROCC
The Sheridan family recently lost their son and brother, Scott, to a tragic heroin overdose and has been deeply affected by his death. Melanie Daugherty, Branch Manager of National City bank and sister to Scott Sheridan says, “The Royal Oak Community Coalition does so much for the community by bringing people together to help reduce substance abuse. We are so happy to be a part of the coalition’s efforts. They really taught our family how important it is to teach kids about prevention early on so they are more equipped and educated to make smart decisions when they are faced with substance abuse issues. It’s good to know that our brother Scott did not die in vein and they we have the opportunity through the Royal Oak Community Coalition to help educate other children and families about prevention.”

Prevention
Advocating for Prevention through Public Policy and Practices:
- I.D. Checking Guides, Tobacco Vendor Kits
– Coalition volunteers, officers from the Royal Oak Police Department, and students from Dondero and Kimball SADD chapters made over 100 on-site visits to liquor licensed and tobacco retailers to distribute educational materials. This project has led to a reduction of sales to minors by helping merchants identify a fraudulent I.D. and employ techniques refusing a sale. In a recent federal compliance check, 100% of Royal Oak tobacco merchants refused to sell to minors. - Parents Who Host Lose the Most, Don’t Be Party to Teenage Drinking
– The Coalition hosted the countywide kickoff at the Churchill Center. This campaign focuses on reminding parents of the health effects of serving alcohol to minors and the legal ramifications. The Coalition helped coordinate outreach efforts with three high school principals and the Police Department. Parent letters and a brochure, "Tips for Hosting Teen Parties," were distributed to middle and high school Royal Oak families. Letters were sent to hotel/motel managers with a placard reminding parents of the liabilities of renting rooms for teen parties. Newspaper articles appeared in each of the local papers. The cable station continues to display the logo. Liquor license retailers were given window clings for display within their stores. Community and church leaders received letters explaining the campaign and asked for their assistance in spreading the word. - Building Code – A new item was added to the city inspectors’ checklist regarding where distilled alcohol is displayed in Royal Oak retail stores.

Your Child and the Law
Dear Parents and Youth,
It is important that both parents and youth be aware of the consequences connected with violations of the law. This brochure provides you with information regarding law violations that often bring young people into contact with the police and the court system.
There are consequences for violations of the law. Your child’s age determines whether the juvenile court or local and county criminal courts have jurisdiction.
We urge you to take a few moments to become familiar with the information included here.
The Royal Oak Community Coalition and the Royal Oak Police Department are striving to create a safe, substance abuse free environment within which our youth may achieve their maximum potential. Do not hesitate to contact us if we can assist you or your family in any way.

Smoking Cessation
4/30/09 - Smoking Cessation Leadership Academy Award
Contact Person: Diane Dovico, Executive Director, 248-588-5050 x 229
or Lorraine McGoldrick, 248-894-4506
The Royal Oak Community Coalition has been selected as a founding member in the 100 Pioneers for Smoking Cessation Virtual Leadership Academy under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service (SAMHSA) new Tobacco-Free Campaign. In recognition of the Coalition’s commitment to build the capacity of our local agencies, by providing technical assistance, resource development and implementation strategies, we can significantly help people kick the habit of tobacco use.
Tobacco dependence is a major public health issue. Research indicates people with mental health concerns continue to smoke at alarming rate of 44%, compared to the general public rate of 19%.
Each year in Michigan 14,500 people die of tobacco related deaths and each year every Michigan household spends $637 in state and federal taxes due to costs associated with smoking related illnesses. (Source MI Smoke Free Air)
This project is aimed at partnering with 15 local mental health agencies to ensure their clients receive the most current and cutting edge assistance to challenge their nicotine addiction.
Diane Dovico, ROCC Executive Director, states ‘the coalition’s strengths of motivating participation and coordinating projects along with the coalition’s community creditability lead to this award.’ This initiative comes with financial support to help save lives and support recovery and treatment services for those with additional challenges. Robert Woods Foundation began work on this cessation project in 2003 with a five-year support grant. Additional funding from the VA, and American Legacy Foundation followed the Robert Woods contributions.
Royal Oak Community Coalition’s Cessation Network project is being roll out during the next six months. Key elements of the project include: increasing access to cessation resources, raise awareness of the effectiveness of smoking cessation programs, provide information on health insurance benefits that cover prescription and over the counter aid medications, and on-line training opportunities for the health professional.
To learn more about the Royal Oak Community Coalition and their activities including accessing resources to quit tobacco check out www.ci.royal-oak.mi.us/rocc .
Making even a small dent in reducing the use of tobacco in high-risk groups will have a large impact in the overall community’s health. Our goal is to help those who want to quit to get the help and support they need to succeed.

The annual budget is primarily funded through membership fees, donations, grants and fundraising efforts.
Many individuals have made office supply donations and provided in-kind services.
The success of the Coalition is dependent on the continued commitment of those with whom we work with in alliance. Fostering new sector partnerships and broadening our individual volunteer base will help us realize our vision for a healthy and safe community.
