In the field.
You're the only prevention person in your agency, and there's no one down the hall to ask.
For substance misuse prevention professionals
You don't have to do prevention work alone.
Prevention Leaders Network is a private community where prevention professionals trade answers, tools, and opportunities with people who understand the work. Coordinators, supervisors, and prevention entrepreneurs, all in one place.

Why I built this.
I kept meeting prevention professionals doing heroic work in their communities, often underfunded, under-supported, and completely on their own. The ones who wanted to share their expertise as trainers or consultants faced a second uphill climb: building a business in a field that wasn't designed for entrepreneurs. Prevention Leaders Network is the place I wished existed. A place where collaboration replaces competition, and nobody has to figure it out alone.
