Mid-Hudson Prevention Resource Center

Mid-Hudson Prevention Resource Center The PRC was established by OASAS to be an intermediary supplier of training & technical assistance

The MHPRC is located at the Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Council of Orange County and we serve the seven counties of the Mid-Hudson Region (Orange, Rockland, Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Ulster and Sullivan). Our objective is to create, support and guide community coalitions as they strategically address substance abuse in their communities. Community coalitions are usually comprised of community volunteers from local businesses, civic organizations, schools, police, fire departments, youth and any other residents who want to make a difference. We help coalition members build their volunteer base, asses the resources and needs specific to their community and draft a plan to address them. The MHPRC also engages the prevention providers in the Mid-Hudson region to connect with their local community coalitions. This work is done through trainings and technical assistance to community coalition members/leaders, community members, and prevention provider staff. The MHPRC is one of 6 PRCs across the state and we are able to tap into the successes, challenges, activities and ideas of coalitions and providers working to make a difference. When to call us…

When members of your community feel substance
abuse is a problem locally but aren’t sure what to do about it. When members of your community have begun to take action on substance abuse issues but could use more guidance when strategizing. When your coalition could benefit from objective facilitation between diverse sectors of your community. When you are looking to increase coalition participation and membership. When you want to connect to others in the field who may have additional resources. When you, your agency, or community sees a gap in substance abuse prevention knowledge.
