    About Us

    Since 1980, Prevention First has provided training, technical assistance, and resource materials to thousands of schools, community groups, parents, and youth. We engage with local communities to promote healthy behaviors and prevent drug and alcohol misuse. From the onset, Prevention First has always believed there is no one-size-fits-all solution to prevention. Our approach is based on various evidence-based and collaborative approaches to building healthy communities and supporting better decision-making strategies.
