Prevention tools and resources

The MMIR Office strives to build partnerships and secure resources to ensure that prevention messaging reaches the next generation. This happens through in-person training opportunities, tabling in the community, online training opportunities, and downloadable resources. There is a special emphasis on making resources available that are vetted by professionals, age-appropriate, culturally responsive and trauma-informed.
