Our Vision
To protect all children, youth and adults from substance abuse harm while also promoting physically active and healthy lifestyles and positive identities. This is accomplished by cueing desired future wellness images, linking substance use as barriers to wellness behaviors and positive identity, and enhancing self-regulation skills to set and monitor multiple wellness and self-improvement goals. We also provide for the basic needs of the most poor and vulnerable children in the US and the world.
Our Story
You’ve heard Plato’s quote that “Necessity is the mother of invention.” Well, that’s exactly how Prevention Plus Wellness (PPW) was born.
After years of developing substance abuse prevention programs, I was faced with the challenge of providing a prevention program for youth attending school sports physical exams. This problem demanded the development of a practical prevention program that could be implemented within a very tight time frame, and yet was also salient and enjoyable in its targeting of how to achieve broader well-being and personal performance outcomes.
The solution was a single-session screening and brief intervention that integrated the prevention of substance use with the promotion of fitness and health habits by cuing naturally motivating positive images and using multiple behavior goal setting to improve self-regulation skills.
Today Prevention Plus Wellness continues to provide the only evidence-based screening and brief intervention substance use prevention programs and training in the country that promote wellness, positive self-identity and self-control for general and high-risk populations in a fun, user-friendly single-session format.
Please join us in our mission to protect and improve the whole health of youth and young adults across America and the world, through the use of powerful but practical substance use prevention programs and training designed to improve fitness, health, self-image and drug awareness, while providing for the basic needs of our most poor and vulnerable children.
