Introducing an Idea

PREVENTION ACROSS  New Jersey 

WHAT IS PREVENTION?

Effective substance use prevention involves addressing the root causes that drive early use and later addiction.

​

We do this by reducing risk and bolstering protective factors through education, environmental change, and family support. 

​

This upstream, holistic approach creates better health across the lifespan, reduces stigma, increases access to services, and supports resilient, recovery-ready communities.
