WELCOME

In the fall of 2005, the Department of Human Resources Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Addictive Diseases awarded a contract to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia to create a statewide office of substance abuse prevention in higher education in conjunction with the Georgia Network . The new Georgia Network Office for Substance Abuse Prevention in Higher Education served as the collegiate arm of the Office of Prevention Services and Programs until March 31, 2006.

The Georgia Network is a statewide organization that follows the vision, mission and goals of The Network: Addressing Collegiate Alcohol & Other Drug Issues and proactively addresses the issues of alcohol and other drugs in order to promote healthy campus environments. The Georgia Network promotes the use of The Network Standards as a guide for alcohol and other drug prevention programming. Membership in The Georgia Network is open to all institutions of higher education in the state of Georgia.

The revised version of this Website was sponsored in part by a contract with: Georgia Department of Human Resources, Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Addictive Diseases, Office of Prevention Services and Programs.
