About Us
The Utah Prevention System is a group of several local-area coalitions working together to conduct prevention work for a better, safer Utah.
These coalitions strive to protect our communities, promote positive lifestyles, and prevent substance abuse and behavioral health problems.
Each coalition is empowered to adapt to the needs of the community by reducing risk factors and supporting protective factors relating to substance abuse, suicide, delinquency, crime and other problem behaviors.
Our commitment is to employ evidence-based programs, use researched prevention practices and develop environmental policies to achieve our goals.
Together, everyone plays a role in prevention.
