About Us
Prevention Institute (PI) is a national nonprofit dedicated to championing equitable health, safety, and wellbeing through upstream prevention and community-driven solutions.
OUR STRATEGIES
Our four interrelated strategies are essential to realizing equitable health, safety, and wellbeing.
The Prevention Institute Story
Established in 1997, we set out to develop a systematic methodology for primary prevention to apply across public health challenges. We have evolved to center community solutions both in practice and to inform the transformation of systems, structures, and narratives that shape equitable communities and health outcomes.
Interdependence
Dignity
Accountability
A Diverse and Dedicated Team
Our committed staff and board members reflect a breadth and depth of professional, academic, and life experience related to our mission, strategies, and areas of focus. While we each bring our own unique strengths, we also focus on learning together across the organization to maximize our impact.
"Prevention Institute staff bring technical know-how and uncommon skill to their capacity-building, facilitation, training, and strategic coaching. In many ways, they are more than advisors or trainers, but rather partners in achieving our mission."
For nearly 30 years, we have worked with community-based organizations and collaboratives, public agencies, municipalities, healthcare systems, and philanthropy to move priorities into action. Our services include strategy development, policy analysis, landscape scans, research and synthesis, capacity building and coaching, partnership support, training and facilitation, and tool development.
We work nationally and serve communities, regions, and states throughout the country. But we also call 4 locations home. These locations serve as places for deeper engagement and connection.
