Community Prevention
The Community Prevention program increases community knowledge about overall wellness and substance abuse.
This program provides education, technical assistance, and community support with an information resource center and community health fair participation to assist individuals, neighborhoods, and all community members in Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton counties. As it is vital for communities to stay informed on the latest information and trends, presentation topics include information on drug trends, marijuana, prescription drugs, vaping, the dangers of underage alcohol use, and bullying.
