PREVENTED

With over 50 years experience, formerly under the name NCADA, PreventEd is committed to guiding all people through tough conversations around alcohol and other drugs. This work is rooted in experience, knowledge of best practices and evidence-informed programs... Founded in 1965, PreventEd was originally a regional chapter of the National Council on Alcoholism. The mission was to change the stigma surrounding alcohol use disorder and help those struggling to find recovery. This idea remains central in PreventEd's Assessment and Referral program, community strategy, advocacy efforts, and public health campaigns... PreventEd's central focus in programming is K-12, in-school prevention education. These programs were started in 1980 with the hiring of "The Princess of Prevention," Harriet Kopolow. They have since been a cornerstone in the organization's mission to prevent substance misuse and substance use disorder in Eastern Missouri.
