NECON has long been the convening body for those passionate about prevention-focused work in New England. In addition to our annual conference, we are working towards becoming a
sustainable resource throughout the year.How do we sustain the power of the NECON conference throughout the year? In part by
creating an online center of excellence. A new online Toolkit is being developed to provide tactical information on prevention legislation, funding and program creation in New
England—including gold star case studies, best practices, obstacles, and overall lessons.
The aim of the NECON toolkit is to strengthen prevention-focused programs in New England by
promoting learning and collaboration, as well as build relationships in order to pursue joint funding opportunities.
We invite you to take part in the creation of the Toolkit. If you have a successful program that you'd like to share, or if you would like to be notified as new toolkit materials are
available, please contact Heather Manning at
