PREVENTION RESOURCE CENTER (PRC)

Prevention is defined as a proactive process designed to empower individuals and systems to meet the challenges of life events and transitions by creating and reinforcing conditions that promote healthy behaviors and lifestyles (Center for Substance Abuse Prevention - CSAP, 1996).

"Successful prevention of alcohol, tobacco and other drug problems requires the efforts of Americans in all walks of life, from policy maker to community activist, from parent to professional prevention practitioner. Successful prevention starts with you . . . Prevention works for everyone, but only when everyone works for prevention."

Joe M. Hill, Director
Alcohol & Drug Abuse Prevention

Strategic Prevention Framework:

This is a model developed by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) to engage communities in addressing local substance abuse issues. The state of Arkansas has begun to adopt this model into prevention programs and certain funding.
