Introduction

Welcome

Since 1984, the Prevention Resource Center (PRC) has served as a hub and a gathering place for ideas, programs, questions, inquiries, and classroom activity planning. It is a place where puppets live and breathe, heartfelt stories originate, and problems resolve. It is a haven where fears are alleviated, music is generated, and poetry is dedicated.

The PRC is just as much about what visitors bring to it as what they take out of it. Lovingly referred to as the “PIT STOP” (Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment), the PRC is the heart, the center, the life force of Greenville Family Partnership. It’s how we know that Prevention is possible; Intervention is necessary; and Treatment works.

So, call, visit, or email us at virginia@gfpdrugfree.org. Let us introduce you to prevention so that we may share our knowledge, our opinions, our hopes, and our dreams for youth.
