What we do
Turning Prevention into Progress
JTNN delivers prevention education and direct services throughout Washoe County. Every program we offer is grounded in evidence and delivered by trained prevention specialists.
Who we work with
From students to school districts.
Programs run from kindergarten through high school, plus training for the adults who support them. A long-standing partnership with the Washoe County School District anchors this work. JTNN supports partners with community assessment, planning, grant funding, and administration.
Evidence based programs
Effective prevention, everywhere.
Each program prevents substance misuse, strengthens social and emotional skills, and supports healthy development. Topics include vaping, alcohol, other substances, resilience, and decision-making.
