Welcome to the Missouri Prevention Center

About Us

The Missouri Prevention Center brings community members and researchers together to help schools and families apply techniques that promote social and academic success. Through community outreach, the center's staff provides parent training and teacher consultation services.

MPC's mission is to develop, implement, evaluate, and disseminate best practices for reducing the prevalence and societal burden of youth aggression and depression using prevention science methods. There are many opportunities for students, parents, community members, practitioners, researchers, school administrators, and teachers to get involved.
