California Prevention Collaborative

The mission of the California Prevention Collaborative is to build and strengthen the capacity of individuals, organizations, and communities throughout California to prevent and eliminate the direct and indirect adverse effects of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, including illegal use, on a sustainable basis.

The California Prevention Collaborative is a non-profit organization charged with increasing the advocacy and promotion of prevention in California. The primary objectives and purposes of the California Prevention Collaborative are:

• To unite prevention efforts in the common cause of ensuring that all Californians may live free from direct and indirect adverse effects of alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD)-related problems;
• To establish ATOD prevention conditions under which the health, safety, and well-being of individuals, families, schools and communities can be sustained;
• To support ATOD prevention policies and actions appropriately applicable to persons of all cultures and identities within our state;
• To afford ATOD prevention organizations and youth a direct voice in the development of prevention policy; and
• To collectively promote policies consistent with these objectives and purposes.
