Each community whether it be a city, county, or neighborhood has its own unique and special strengths. The RPC provides training, consultation and technical assistance built upon the idea that alcohol, tobacco and other drug problems can best be solved through a community approach. All systems need to work in a collaborative effort to identify problems and utilize resources in creating a workable prevention plan. The Regional Prevention Center provides opportunities for youth to become actively involved in prevention activities in their schools and communities through Teen Leadership, Youth Advisory Council, Peer Empowerment, Drug Free Clubs, and other youth projects. Prevention of alcohol, tobacco and other drug problems is not limited to youth alone. The RPC provides prevention programming for parents, college students, the elderly, impactors of youth and the workplace.
The mission of Champions is to mobilize and empower all citizens of the Commonwealth to address alcohol, tobacco and other drug use and abuse and violence issues in their communities. Champions raise public awareness by making all Kentuckians equal partners in prevention.
