Prevention Resources

What Prevention Resources does

Prevention Resources, Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit organization headquartered in Flemington, New Jersey, founded in 1971 as the longest-standing prevention agency in Hunterdon County. The organization operates through two departments: Prevention Services (evidence-based educational programs, community coalitions, environmental strategies) and Support Services (Level 1 outpatient treatment, early intervention, family support, recovery, and harm reduction). Its portfolio spans school-based prevention education across K-12, licensed clinical substance use evaluations and counseling, an Employee Assistance Program, the Safer Together Harm Reduction Center, the Open Door Recovery Center, two Family Success Centers, and two branded mobile applications (Help App and RecoverWE App).

The organization coordinates multiple coalitions (Drug-Free Task Force, Safe Communities Coalition of Hunterdon County, Hunterdon County Youth Coalition, One Voice faith-based coalition) and serves more than 15,000 individuals directly per year across four New Jersey counties: Hunterdon, Somerset, Mercer, and Monmouth. Notable partnerships include Raritan Valley Community College, Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office (S.T.A.R.T. initiative), Hunterdon Healthcare System, CADCA, and Prevention Links.

The revenue model is grant- and donation-dependent, not transactional. Primary funding comes from the federal Drug-Free Communities Grant, New Jersey Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services licensing and funding, and Department of Children and Families grants. Secondary revenue streams include individual and corporate donations, event sponsorships ($500-$2,500 tiers for Taste of Hunterdon), and conference registration fees ($65 per attendee for the Fall Professional Conference at Raritan Valley Community College). All prevention and clinical services are delivered free of charge to community members. The organization holds the 2024 Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency and the 2025 Gold Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health, and was honored at the White House in 2023 for the 25th anniversary of the Drug-Free Communities grant.
