Heartland Family Service

Prevention

At Heartland Family Service, we believe prevention is as important as treatment. We believe in taking action to empower our community and youth to make low-risk choices that protect things that are important to them. The services we provide are research-based and evidence-informed, with the assurance that all people have access to quality services that are culturally responsive and trauma-informed. We utilize the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) six prevention strategies to guide all our prevention work in Iowa and Nebraska, as well as the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) Steps to guide our prevention plan overall.

We utilize evidence-based prevention strategies to provide primary prevention services on substance use and problem gambling to the community. Prevention is comprehensive and involves utilizing a variety of strategies to be effective. Heartland Family Service Prevention collaborates through with other community prevention services to leverage resources and make the greatest impact on increasing perception of harm of substances and reducing substance use in our community.
