Guam Strategic Plan

The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) approves Guam Strategic Plan.

Kudos from the Acting Director of the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention

“I am very please and impressed with the website.  Putting a face to prevention, recovery, and celebrating the great work that Guam is doing – to that I commend you and your team.  Though you are very far away, your issues, your challenges, and your perseverance is something that remains close to me and to the ideals I aspire to.  I thank you for sharing the progress that Guam is making and I urge you and your partners to continue to fight the fight.  It is really the decent way to move forward.”

What is PEACE?

PEACE is a community-based project established by the Prevention & Training Branch of the Department of Mental Health & Substance Abuse, with guidance by the Governor's PEACE Council and the State Epidemiological Work group.

PEACE strives to:

  • Raise awareness about the effects of alcohol, tobacco and other substance abuse on Guam;
  • Prevent/reduce alcohol, tobacco and other drug use, including underage drinking;
  • Promote alcohol-free, tobacco-free and other drug-free lifestyles;
  • Reduce the harmful outcomes associated with alcohol, tobacco and other drug use;
  • Build Guam's capacity and infrastructure for establishing and sustaining evidence based substance abuse prevention early intervention programs that are effective.
