Foster, Empower, Sustain.
About UsPrevention Links is a private, non-profit organization. With community being defined as any environment where people live, work, or learn, the goal of Prevention Links is to pull together all available resources to eliminate the deleterious effects of drugs, alcohol, violence, and inadequate educational and health institutions in our communities
Our mission is to foster healthy sustainable communities by empowering people through education, collaboration and by serving as the linkage to resources.
Prevention Links, established in 1971, has an extensive history of providing science-based prevention programs that introduce and reinforce the skills necessary for youth to make good choices; to strengthen families; and, to train community members in best practice strategies to delay or prevent the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.
Our work focuses on identifying and enhancing existing strengths within the individual, family, school, and work setting to serve as the first and most valuable resource in sustainable revitalization of all types of community.
Through implementing training programs and evidence-based strategies;
using practices and programs that are outcome-based;
and inviting community members to express their needs and the best ways to meet them,
we empower all segments of the community to be actively engaged in changing their environments.
What is Prevention; how do you know it is effective; and why should you support it?
Prevention teaches our children healthy decision making skills. It teaches our children to identify their internal strengths in order to stay on course and mature into healthy adults. Prevention teaches parents and community members the most effective skills available to foster this development. Prevention is a learning process in which success is measured every time our children have the tools it takes to make the right choice.
