About Us

What is Prevention and Health Promotion?

Preserve, promote and improve the health and well-being of our community through comprehensive population and individual level services.

The Prevention and Health Promotion team uses evidence-based prevention strategies and health promotion to empower people to take control of their health in order to prevent disease and improve quality of life. 

Our team uses the Health Impact Pyramid to ensure the work we are doing will influence the population as whole. Strategies such as changing social norms, and creating community-wide policies impact populations, while, counseling and education impact individuals.

Community Groups

CCE Workgroups

The Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) is one of CCE’s workgroups. SADD’s mission is to empower young people to successfully confront the risks and pressures that challenge them throughout their daily lives. SADD students use peer-to-peer education to raise awareness on positive teen relationships, mental health, substance abuse prevention, teen driving safety, and youth development.
