Mother Teresa said, “I alone can’t change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” My name is Reanna Liversage, and I am blessed to be the director of community coalitions for Drug Prevention Resources.

Drug Prevention Resources (DPR) has gone virtual but that doesn't keep us from coming to your school, upon request. We will take all appropriate COVID precautions when providing services to your students.
Drug Prevention Resources (DPR) received a grant from the AmerisourceBergen Foundation, a not-for-profit charitable organization focused on supporting health-related causes that enrich the global community. The grant will enable DPR to offer the digital course Prescription Drug Safety to high schools in communities across North Texas, including those in Dallas, Ellis, Navarro and Rockwall counties. The funding is provided as part of the AmerisourceBergen Foundation’s Opioid Resource Grant Program.
“We’ve dreamed of a centralized collection of resources for rural residents in North Texas who desperately need the answers to substance use disorder, and specifically opioid use disorder," says Becky Vance, DPR CEO. "We are thrilled and grateful to lead this collaborative effort with our incredible founding partners.”
