Prevention Academies
The Prevention Academies bring together NC Prevention Partners, Chambers of Commerce, and local businesses who are committed to establishing a strong wellness environment over the next three years.

Each attendee of a Prevention Academy Class is invited to receive access to NCPP’s proprietary employer tools and distance training, for a period of three years.   The goal is to act as a catalyst for community-wide chronic disease prevention in workplaces of all sizes, and move the prevention needle in a substantive way.  Prevention Academies are held in communities across North Carolina.
