The Mississippi Prevention Network (MPN)

About Us

The MPN site is intended to be a resource and a means of connecting alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD) prevention professionals throughout the state of Mississippi.  Prevention professionals throughout the state may use this site to learn about prevention programs in the state, stay up-to-date on prevention news, find out about upcoming events, collaborate on projects, learn about funding and job opportunities, locate professional development opportunities, access SureTool, discover available resources, and learn how to become certified in prevention.

The MPN site is intended for anyone who has a passion for prevention.  This site provides resources and information for those who are new to prevention as well as those who already have a working knowledge of prevention-related issues and concepts.

The MPN site is funded by the Mississippi Department of Mental Health, Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Services.  The site was developed by and is maintained by DREAM, Inc.  We wish for this site to be helpful to all prevention professionals in Mississippi.  We welcome relevant submissions to the site as well as comments and suggestions.
