Resources - Prevention Academy

Prevention Academy pursues its mission through conversations with students around healthy living and decision-making; ultimately, we aim to support students and the adults who care for them. While we included resources for parents, guardians and school leaders, this is partial. Although included below, we don't want to solely endorse any one resource, service or publication.

It can be daunting to review these materials alone or to know how and where to find reliable and accurate information to support your child; we encourage you to contact us for more information.
