Missouri Partners in Prevention Details
Partners in Prevention is Missouri's higher education substance abuse consortium dedicated to creating healthy and safe college campuses. The coalition is comprised of 21 public and private college and university campuses across the state. Campus judicial officials, law enforcement, and campus prevention professionals are encouraged to take part in both their local coalition efforts and the statewide Partners in Prevention coalition. The unique composition brings together different perspectives on health promotion and prevention efforts.Since the beginning of our coalition, we have focused on preventing high-risk and underage drinking among Missouri's college students and addressing other problematic health behaviors such as high risk driving behaviors and problem gambling. In addition, we also provide support and services to campuses across the state to prevent suicide on campus and support positive mental health among college students. Members of the Partners in Prevention coalition meet monthly for training and network opportunities and host a statewide prevention conference each spring called Meeting of the Minds.Member Institutions:Columbia College Drury University Evangel University Harris-Stowe State University University of Central Missouri Lincoln University Linn State Technical CollegeMaryville University Missouri Southern State University Missouri State University Missouri Western State University Northwest Missouri State University Rockhurst University Saint Louis University Southeast Missouri State University Truman State University University of Missouri University of Missouri-Kansas City Missouri University of Science and Technology University of Missouri-St. Louis Westminster College
