REGION 8 - PREVENTION RESOURCE CENTER
Services Provided:
The Prevention Resource Center (PRC) serves as a central data collection point for 28 counties in South Central Texas as it relates to alcohol (underage drinking), marijuana, prescription drugs, and other drugs. We provide tobacco retailer compliance checks to ensure compliance of Texas Tobacco Laws and educate retailers about the penalties of selling to minors. Our goal is to develop a Regional Needs Assessment (RNA) that will identify resource gaps, drug patterns, and prevention training needs in our communities. Please visit our website at prcregion8.org.
