PREVENTION TODAY

For 40 years, The Prevention Team has been a vital part of Essex County’s well-being initiatives across the lifespan—weaving evidence based education, advocacy and hope into the lives of children, families, and communities in the Adirondacks ,a uniquely rural upstate New York gem. By investing in prevention today, we reduce long-term health, social, and economic costs tomorrow, ensuring that our community thrives with strong, connected, and substance-free youth. Free across the lifespan, we are facilitating skills to Help Kids be safe, confident, and have happy, strong relationships; Preparing Teens with safety strategies/refusal skills to address the pressures they face in today’s society; and Empowering Adults with resiliency tools to strengthen their relationships personally and professionally using protective factors. Our culturally humble team is genuinely committed to the well-being of all, no matter your age, name, or income!
