What We Do >> Prevention Through Information and Referral 

 

Prevention Plus has been designated as the Prevention Resource Center for Burlington County by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services. The Resource Center provides a free video loan library featuring over 175 videotapes on various Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs (ATOD) and related topics, offers an extensive selection of curricula, books, informative brochures and pamphlets on a wide variety of wellness related topics as well as maintaining a directory of community resources for ATOD treatment and prevention services. The items in stock vary throughout the year. To maximize our ability to provide you with bulk quantities, requests should be made four to six weeks prior to the date of your event. Our staff is also available to assist educators, service providers and community groups working on prevention projects by suggesting scientifically based curricula, providing resource materials, and recommending activities and strategies to enhance prevention programs.

Prevention Plus can help refer individuals to the appropriate community resources for help with substance abuse or related problems. We can help arrange for treatment admissions and provide nonjudgmental, caring support to the person in need or to family members and significant others.

In a recent year Prevention Plus provided:

  • 1,335 Educational Programs.
  • 450 hours of technical assistance to 200 community process meetings.
  • 14,000 pieces of educational literature.
  • Response to 480 calls and visits to the Resource Center for information and referral.
