West Virginia Prevention Solutions

What West Virginia Prevention Solutions does

West Virginia Prevention Solutions is a community-based non-profit organization founded in 2011 and headquartered in Clarksburg, West Virginia. The organization delivers substance misuse prevention education, training programs, and resources across 13 counties in Region 4 of West Virginia. Its services target youth, schools, and community members, with reported reach of 41,884 youth impacted, 138 schools supported, and more than 10,000 community members served. The organization operates with a small staff of 1-10 employees and coordinates with schools, government agencies, and community organizations.

The organization's core offerings include Naloxone/Narcan training, suicide prevention training, Mental Health First Aid, and the Botvin LifeSkills Training curriculum. Service delivery is community-led and primarily in-person; there is no proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI/ML component. Operational integration with partner schools and agencies is built on relational and contractual coordination rather than technical infrastructure.

The organization's revenue model is grant-dependent, with primary funding sourced from federal agencies including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), alongside the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR). In 2026, the organization launched its first public fundraising campaign to diversify its funding base, though the initial yield was modest at $443, indicating that public donor revenue is not yet a material income stream.
