Upstream prevention is taking action before there is a problem. Prevention aims to reduce risk factors that contribute to youth substance use and mental health problems while increasing factors known to protect youth and build resilience.
The New Vista Regional Prevention Center supports upstream substance use prevention by promoting evidence-based prevention programs, and sharing resources to promote mental health and suicide prevention. We work to identify strengths in our community and opportunities for collaboration between schools, businesses, and community organizations. Our purpose is to build healthier communities.
Every community is unique, and everyone has a role to play in preventing substance use and promoting mental health. To request individualized consultation for your program or organization click here. We are here to help.
