Building Resilient Communities:
NJ’s Source to Support Individuals, Youth and Families
The NJ Prevention Hub is your gateway to substance use prevention resources across New Jersey. Serving all 21 counties, we connect individuals, families, and professionals to a network of local agencies dedicated to preventing substance use.
Our mission is clear: to provide access to evidence-based education, interventions, and strategies that proactively address the risk factors influencing youth substance use and to help build resilient, flourishing communities.
Why Do We Need Prevention in Our Communities?
In New Jersey, as in many places, the early use of alcohol and other drugs can set the stage for addiction. By focusing on prevention, we aim to intercept these behaviors early, fostering safer, healthier communities where our youth and families can thrive. The Prevention Hub equips everyone from parents and schools to law enforcement and faith-based organizations with the tools needed to build resilience against substance use and its devastating impacts.
For Parents
Discover how you can empower your child to make healthy decisions and provide the support they need to thrive.
For Professionals
Access a comprehensive suite of programs tailored to support professionals in delivering effective substance use prevention and intervention services.
For Youth
Equip young people to understand drugs, empowering them to make informed, healthy choices for a brighter future.
For Help
Connect with community-based organizations for information, social support or practical assistance when help is needed or life challenges occur.
Prevention Warm Line
A Prevention Warm Line, hosted at your county Prevention Hub, provides guidance to community and family members seeking access to prevention resources such as family supports, parenting resources, prevention of early drug and alcohol use by youth, mental health supports, and individual addiction services.
Trained staff are available weekdays 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. to connect callers to local and state-level prevention resources and other supportive services.
