Partners in Prevention

About Us

Partners in Prevention (PIP) is a statewide coalition focused on preventing high-risk drinking among Missouri’s college students. The coalition is composed of representatives from each of Missouri’s 12 state colleges and universities and is funded by the Missouri Division of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse with supplemental funding from the Missouri Division of Highway Safety and the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation.

The Partners in Environmental Change (PIEC) coalition was created in 2002 to empower law enforcement, campus judicial officers and prevention professionals from colleges throughout the state to become change agents in their communities. These change agents will help create a campus, city, and state environment that supports good decision making in regard to alcohol by the college students who attend the higher education institutions in the State of Missouri. They will become empowered through support materials, trainings, and a communication network.

Members of partners in Prevention and Partners in Environmental Change coalitions meet monthly for training and network opportunities.
