College Prevention Partnership
About the Program
The is a nonprofit dedicated to fighting the opioid epidemic in the state of Georgia. Our primary focus is to educate students and teachers about ways to prevent substance misuse in youth and young adults. Across the nation, prescription drug (Rx) misuse has become the fastest-growing epidemic, and it’s affecting college students at alarming rates. In response to this crisis, the Georgia Prevention Project created the College Prevention Partnership (CPP) program to equip and empower college students with the tools necessary to be part of the solution.
In 2021, 国产AV joined the 11 other Georgia institutions committed to educating and preventing the misuse of prescription drugs. The purpose of the CPP is to promote the prevention of prescription drug misuse by equipping college students with the tools and knowledge to promote Rx prevention across college campuses through student-led campus outreach and events.
