Atlantic Prevention Resources

What Atlantic Prevention Resources does

Atlantic Prevention Resources Inc. (APR) is a private nonprofit organization headquartered in Absecon, New Jersey, providing substance misuse prevention and recovery support services exclusively to Atlantic County residents. Founded in 1985, the organization operates three primary service lines: school- and community-based prevention programs (Life Skills Training, Forest Friends, Olweus Bullying Prevention, Gun Violence Prevention, Escape the Vape, Victory Over Violence, Stand Up and Rebel), family skills programs (Strengthening Families Program delivered for nearly 30 years, PreVenture, Military Family Nights), and tobacco cessation and prevention services through the Atlantic QUIT Center and associated initiatives (Working Well Tobacco-Free, STOMP, NJ CUITS, Smoke-Free Multi-Unit Housing). The organization also convenes the JTAC Coalition (Join Together Atlantic County) and coordinates the Atlantic County Overdose Fatality Review Team (OFRT) with 18 member organizations across healthcare, law enforcement, government, and recovery services.

APR's business model is grant-funded nonprofit: services are provided free of charge to residents, with revenue derived primarily from government grants (NJ Department of Health Office of Tobacco Control and Prevention, SAMHSA SABG COVID Supplement Grant TI083538, state tobacco control programs) supplemented by fundraising events (inaugural 'Recovery is Possible' fundraiser held March 2023 at $100/ticket) and donations. The organization operates approximately 11-50 staff across two Absecon locations (707 White Horse Pike Units B3 and B4) plus a JTAC Coalition office at 626 N. Shore Road. Delivery is community-led and direct: programs are deployed in-person in schools, workplaces, housing facilities, and through a mobile Quit Center that meets clients in their communities with transportation assistance. Distribution includes phone hotlines (609-804-QUIT, 609-272-0101) and referral pathways such as HERO 2-1-1. APR holds no proprietary technology platform and does not offer APIs, mobile applications, or digital products; competitive differentiation rests on certified facilitation expertise (Botvin LST, Olweus, NCTTP), federal recognition (Strengthening Families Program Exemplary Program designation from OJJDP and U.S. Department of Education), and an established cross-sector coalition network.
