Prevention Network is a statewide not-for-profit that aims to cultivate healthy communities across Michigan through prevention resources, technical assistance, and support. Prevention Network has provided support to individuals, grassroots groups, coalitions, and larger agencies across all 83 Michigan counties on substance misuse prevention since 1984. We strive to bridge the gap between research and practice for enhanced effectiveness of local prevention efforts.
The work of the MDHHS Tobacco Section is guided by the five goals of the Tobacco Section Strategic Plan: identify and eliminate tobacco-related health disparities; eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke; promote tobacco treatment (cessation) among adults and youth; prevent initiation among youth and young adults; and expand and stabilize tobacco control infrastructure and funding.
