Prevention and Intervention Strategies

Prevention and intervention strategies aim to reduce or address problematic behaviors or issues before they escalate. Prevention involves plans and actions, like education or creating supportive environments, to stop problems from happening in the first place. Intervention involves targeted actions, such as counseling or treatment, once an issue has begun, to help individuals improve and recover. Together, these approaches work to promote well-being, reduce harm, and foster healthier communities by addressing concerns proactively and reactively.
