Core offering

CNCAA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1967 that provides alcohol, tobacco, and other drug prevention education, information, referral, intervention, and recovery services to residents of central Nebraska. Its core offerings comprise youth prevention programs (Kids Power!, Teen Power!, Discovery Kids, Kids Power 2, CATCH Kids Club, All Stars), court-referred substance use education classes (Prime for Life for youth MIP and adult DUI/DWI, Youth Tobacco Education, Marijuana Education), family support services (Strengthening Families Program, Intervention Services, Family Education Program), professional continuing-education training (Conference for Professionals, Mental Health First Aid, Trauma 101, 40 Developmental Assets), and resource services including a Lending Library of more than 1,200 items and a BIG BOOK Store with over 400 titles.

Product overview

CNCAA offers a unified portfolio of addiction prevention and recovery services rather than a technology product. The organization provides youth prevention programs (Kids Power!, Teen Power!, Discovery Kids, Kids Power 2, CATCH Kids Club, All Stars), substance use education classes (Prime for Life for youth and adults, Tobacco Education, Marijuana Education), family support services (Strengthening Families Program, Intervention Services, Family Education Program), professional training (Conference for Professionals, Mental Health First Aid, Trauma 101, 40 Developmental Assets), and resource services (Lending Library, BIG BOOK Store, Informational Resources, Referral Services). The offerings are organized around three pillars: preventing addiction through youth programs, sharing resources through the library and bookstore, and supporting recovery through intervention and education services.
