About Us

NECPA’s main goals focus on harm reduction associated with alcohol use, alcohol-related problems, marijuana, prescription drugs, illicit and polysubstance use, suicide, sexual assault prevention, and addressing student well-being and mental health. Prevention professionals play a significant role in creating safer campuses and communities and achieving higher rates of student success and retention. Your institution can make an impact by joining NECPA members in actively implementing evidence-based prevention programming.

Being a part of NECPA has provided funding, support, and programming on a variety of topics that MCC may not have had for students before. Having a shared network with other colleges has given us a like-minded support system, and the opportunity to learn alternative ways to provide awareness/education on campus. As a community college, we tend to have fewer on-campus resources to offer students, so we truly appreciate the relationship we have with NECPA.
