Our Team
We are Prevention Strategies
Other institutions don’t combine top research professionals and commercialization specialists within the same organization the way we do. Our unique combination of competencies was built to ensure the concepts we develop are founded on proven scientific evidence and active academic research that is continuously evaluated by our leading experts.
Our mission is to help you integrate overall well-being into your organization’s strategic plan in the most meaningful way. We’re here to guide you into a comprehensive set of programs that meet the specific goals of your community.
