Prevention Education

Since the onset of Covid-19, Prevention Resources has met the demand for online prevention education. Programs such as Footprints for Life for 2nd/3rd grade, Don’t Get Vaped In for 5th-12th, Alcohol Literacy Challenge for 6th-12th, Life Skills for 4th-8th, etc. have been reformatted to Zoom or Google Slide presentations to meet the needs of tighter school schedules. These programs and more are available to Hunterdon County schools, youth groups, and the community.  We are also happy to announce that our prevention educators have been certified as Mental Health First Aid Instructors and will be offering this service soon to the community. To learn more about Prevention Education, go to www.njprevent.com or https://njprevent.com/prevention-education/. For questions, or to book a program, please contact jciullo@njprevent.com or wsidebottom@njprevent.com.
"Addiction is the disease, the family is the patient"
Symptoms typically include isolation, anxiety, and depression. If you know of a student who is living with active addiction at home, or who loves someone with Substance Use Disorder (SUD), the Family Support Center is here to help! FSC Coordinators offer free support services to adult family members who have loved ones with SUD. Support services include learning new ways to communicate with loved ones, exploring readiness to change, and creating individualized wellness plans. Please let your students’ families know that we are here, and that no one need make this journey alone!
