What is Prevention?
Prevention Specialists manage prevention and intervention programs targeting specific needs related to alcohol, tobacco and other drug behavior and choices for youth and their parents.
Prevention Specialists also work with local government and school policies regarding drug and alcohol use and help strengthen those policies to improve health in our schools and communities.
The Regional Prevention Center often assists local coalitions and agencies with grant writing as well as provides administrative services for several grants.
