Mid-America PTTC

The Mid-America Prevention Technology Transfer Center (Mid-America PTTC) is designed to serve as a prevention catalyst, empowering individuals and fostering partnerships to promote safe, healthy, and drug-free communities across Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas. Our services are evidence-based, culturally competent, and locally focused. We provide intensive technical assistance to support organizations' and systems' efforts to implement evidence-based prevention strategies. The Mid-America PTTC also forms partnerships with local and regional stakeholders to ensure that the training needs of the region are identified and met.

The Mid-America PTTC goals are:

• Accelerate the adoption and implementation of evidence-based and promising substance misuse prevention strategies.
• Heighten the awareness, knowledge, and skills of the workforce that addresses substance misuse prevention.
• Foster regional and national alliances among culturally diverse practitioners, researchers, policymakers, funders, and the local communities.
