The Healthy Peabody Collaborative (HPC) was formed in March 2008 under Mayor

Michael J. Bonfanti to address substance abuse issues in the City of Peabody.  Our

members are working to reduce underage substance use in the City of Peabody while

creating a healthier community for all who live, work and play in Peabody.  Since the

inception of the Healthy Peabody Collaborative, we have broadened our mission to

promote all healthy behaviors, including a focus on bullying and hunger prevention.  The

Healthy Peabody Collaborative also worked with the Peabody Social Service Committee

to provide pro-bono professional services to the  residents of Peabody.  This was

accomplished by expanding the Lynn Time Exchange to include the North Shore, and         

specifically Peabody.  By expanding our focus, we are  building coalition membership,

helping member organizations to purposefully include substance abuse prevention in their

mission and  institutionalizing the Healthy Peabody Collaborative into the fabric of

Peabody.
