About the BAY team
The BAY Team is Barrington, RI’s Adult-Youth Team, a prevention coalition with a mission to promote a safe and healthy community through communication and collaboration to prevent substance abuse.
The BAY Team was awarded oversight of the East Bay Regional Coalition through a competitive process with RI Department of Behavioral Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Hospitals. As the lead agency for one of 7 regional coalitions in RI, the BAY Team oversees state funding of prevention and behavioral health promotion throughout the East Bay.
