YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE

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!
