Prevention Education Services are provided by certified Prevention Specialists. The goal of the program is to collaborate with all sectors of the community: law enforcement, education, social services and businesses for the purpose of decreasing the use of tobacco, alcohol, drugs, and violence.
This is accomplished through several education, training and advocacy groups and programs (Group times and fees are subject to change depending on the need of the community). If you are interested in learning more about our prevention services or having our prevention staff provide services to your organization, please contact I.M.P.A.C.T. prevention at the number below.
