Prevention Services

We are proud to serve as a Prevention Resource Center, one of only ten providers leading Missouri in community-based, primary prevention of substance use, suicide, and other behavioral health challenges. Our prevention work focuses on reducing risk factors and building protective factors by strengthening communities, educating individuals, and empowering youth.

Through our contracts with the Missouri Department of Mental Health and the Division of Behavioral Health, we partner with local coalitions, schools, businesses, and other community organizations to create safer, healthier environments where adults and youth can thrive.

Primary prevention focuses on reducing risk and increasing protective factors before substance use or related harms occur. Rather than responding after a crisis, prevention work builds knowledge, resiliency skills, and community systems that support long-term wellness for individuals and communities.

Prevention Consultants of Missouri joined Compass Health Network and has strengthened our prevention services across our southern and central regions.
