Research has proven that substance misuse and problem gambling can be prevented by identifying and addressing the underlying causes that lead to negative outcomes. An evidence-based approach to planning prevention efforts includes conducting a community needs assessment, identifying risk and protective factors, and selecting and implementing effective health promotion and prevention strategies aimed at reducing risk factors and strengthening protective factors. 

Using data collected as part of our Prevention Needs Assessment work, BCDAC, Inc. contracts with prevention providers and coalitions to offer school-based and community-based programming at no cost to schools, organizations, and community groups. Please see our listing of providers and coalitions for more details about programming.

Please reach out to Mallory Perrotti or Lauren Foisy if you have any questions, are interested in scheduling a program, or would like resources for your organization.
