In July 2020, One Prevention Alliance (OPA) welcomed our new Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative (CPWI) Coordinator, Karen Douglass. Having served as the Superintendent for the Stevenson Carson School District (SCSD), Karen was already involved with OPA’s efforts and passionate about prevention and intervention efforts throughout our community. As the CPWI Coordinator, Karen is an employee of ESD 112, and is assigned to serve the community of Stevenson-Carson School District (SCSD). What makes Karen such an incredible fit is her familiarity with our community in addition to the network of support she has created during her 30+ years at SCSD, all of which will continue to be critical in her new role.

“This was a perfect shift for me because I didn’t have to change my life passion,” says Douglass. “I am fortunate enough to continue to work towards creating the best possible community for students and their families by providing resources, education, and opportunities.”
