The Office of Prevention was established to provide multiple prevention strategies to target population of Arizonans who are at risk for developing behavioral health problems. The office provides leadership to the prevention field in Arizona by acting as liaison to the U.S. Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, The National Prevention Network, and the National Center for the Advancement of Prevention. The Office of Prevention develops initiatives and sets statewide direction for the application and advancement of state of the art prevention programs and practices. State of the art prevention and technology are provided to the field through consultation, technical assistance, and specialized training and seminars. Office staff work cooperatively with community groups to:

  • develop and deliver training on specific topics;
  • address statewide issues related to prevention; and
  • to provide technical assistance in the development of new programs and services.
