Dear Friends,
Everyone has a role to play in prevention. For people to play their role, they need skills and strategies grounded in effective prevention. With support from our partners and funders, we educate parents, teachers, young people, prevention professionals, and others in communities across the entire state of Ohio.
Prevention isn’t easy. In fact, it can be challenging to implement proven prevention practices when you have limited resources and capacity. We empower a wide array of practicing prevention professionals in need of assistance and young leaders with a burning desire to give back to their communities.
Addiction itself is an epidemic in the U.S., and Ohio has been hit particularly hard. Preventing addiction before it starts remains one of the best strategies for addressing this epidemic, yet it’s often underfunded, under supported, and underutilized by legislators and regulators. At Prevention Action Alliance, we support advocates throughout Ohio, providing them with resources and logistical aid.
As always, I thank you for your support. Our impact on Ohio’s health has been powerful because of your support, whether it be financially, volunteering, or collaborating. Everyone has a role in prevention, and you are doing your part. I hope you'll read on below to see how we educate, empower, and advocate for prevention, and please consider joining us in this vital, life-saving work.
