Prevention Center
Early drug and underage alcohol use can lead to lifelong problems for children and families of all socioeconomic backgrounds. HHI's Prevention Center offers an array of community and school-based programs to promote the development of healthy lifestyles in children, adolescents and families.
​
Prevention Center programs utilize researched curriculum to address current stressors facing our Youth and limit risk factors that can lead to experimentation with alcohol and other drugs.
