Community-based prevention programs
Community-based prevention programs are initiatives designed to improve the well-being of local populations by addressing issues like substance abuse, violence, or health risks. They involve collaboration among residents, organizations, and local leaders to create supportive environments, educate, and provide resources. These programs focus on early intervention and strengthening community bonds to reduce harmful behaviors before they develop into bigger problems. By tailoring strategies to specific community needs, they foster safer, healthier neighborhoods and promote positive development for individuals and families.
