Who we are

Established in 2009, the Prevention Resource Center is committed to decreasing the negative

effects of alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, gambling and violence at the community level.

The PRC serves as an information clearinghouse linking available resources to substance abuse prevention providers, local

stakeholders, and community based organizations.
