Prevention First serves Monmouth and Ocean Counties and is an advocate for change, a provider of substance abuse and violence prevention education, and a proponent of healthy lifestyles. We work to minimize the incidence and impact of substance abuse and to counterbalance its negative impact on society. The agency attempts to empower personal growth toward positive change to prevent and eliminate substance abuse and related violence.

Prevention First offers high quality programs that equip children with fundamental tools to help them make the right choices throughout their childhood, adolescence and on into young adulthood. Today’s world requires a new skill set to safely maneuver through these crucial times in a child’s life. We provide these skills through prevention education programs in schools, businesses and the community at large.
