Community Action Healthy Living to Close Its Doors on March 20, 2026
After years of dedicated service to promoting healthier communities across Wisconsin, Community Action for Healthy Living (CAHL) will officially close its doors on March 20, 2026. This decision was made after a thorough evaluation of our long-term sustainability, including the loss of critical funding and grants.
We are deeply grateful to our staff, volunteers, donors and partners who have supported CAHL’s mission and made our work possible. Together, we’ve empowered individuals, families and communities to lead healthier lives through education, advocacy and collaboration.
Although CAHL is closing, the impact of our work will continue to resonate in the communities we’ve served. We encourage everyone to carry forward the mission of promoting healthy living. For questions or additional information, please contact Emma Kane, Executive Director, at emma@cahlinc.org before March 20, 2026.
We are committed to empowering youth to make informed, healthy decisions and live a life free from substances, nicotine and tobacco.
We collaborate with educators, families and communities & policymakers to strengthen our collective impact on youth health. Substance misuse prevention starts with education and awareness — we have the tools and resources to make a difference.
Prevention isn't one big talk. It's thousands of little ones. It starts with all of us.
Before a child ever faces peer pressure or stress, they learn how to cope by watching us.
Every adult can help prevent substance misuse with one conversation, one moment, one act of trust at a time.
