About Us
Our Mission
FariCARES’ goal is to support Faribault County and promote positive change when it comes to substance abuse. FariCARES works closely with the We Are United campaign in the USC school district and communities to reduce underage alcohol consumption. The coalition is made up of hopeful and concerned community members and meets once per month in Wells, MN.

What is PCN?
The Positive Community Norms (PCN) approach to improving community health is a transformational model founded upon The Science of the Positive (SOTP). The PCN approach uses the principles of the Science of the Positive to grow positive norms through leadership development, communications, and integration of prevention resources. PCN cultivates cultural transformation by working on multiple community levels and factors at once. This framework has shown itself to be extremely effective in creating meaningful social change.
