The New Jersey Prevention Network (NJPN) is a public health agency working to prevent substance abuse, addiction and other chronic diseases by building capacity among professionals, fostering positive collaboration among providers, and strengthening the field of prevention through the use of evidence-based practices and strategies.

NJPN is a network of 17 independent, non-profit corporations with offices in each of New Jersey’s 21 counties. NJPN ensures that member agencies have high quality standards as part of a connected system of professional services for the prevention of alcohol, tobacco, drug abuse and other related issues. Our staff works with Municipal Alliances, schools, DARE officers, family court, mental health agencies, local governments and many other constituent groups in each county.

All NJPN member agencies offer programs and services that have a common goal of reducing the incidence and prevalence of alcoholism, addiction and related problems through primary prevention efforts. The network refers those needing and requesting help for their own or another individual’s problems related to use and abuse of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs to an appropriate established organization or center that most closely meets their needs. Each NJPN member agency also operates a resource center that provides information and resources to professionals and residents in their county.
