Our Mission
To provide prevention and intervention programs that promote positive change and build healthy communities.
Welcome to Cortland Prevention Resources
Cortland Prevention Resources provides evidence-based drug, alcohol, and tobacco prevention services and educational programs for youth and families. We collaborate with other Cortland County agencies, school districts, and businesses to promote positive change and build healthy communities through educational programs, workshops, and training. We work on policy and enforcement efforts to reduce underage drinking and create positive alternative activities for youth. Cortland Prevention Resources is a division of Family & Children's Counseling Services.
