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 200 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 educates the community that addiction is a disease
that is both preventable and treatable, and offers programs designed
to equip children, youth and adults with the skills and knowledge
necessary to make healthy lifestyle choices. We offer staff development
and training to community agencies in order to enhance the ability
of the Burlington County community to address the full range of
needs of our diverse population. We utilize state-of-the-art resources
tied to research-based, exemplary practices. We are committed to
replace the denial and lack of understanding about substance abuse
with accurate information concerning the symptoms, effects and treatment
of addiction.
Our Prevention Resource Center is open Monday through Friday, 9
AM to 5 PM.
