Our History

In 1998, a group of prevention professionals in Maryland came together to form a
professional association to promote prevention as an important field throughout the state.
This active group created position papers, defined prevention for other professionals,
assisted in statewide planning efforts in a way employees are often unable to and provided
assistance to others in the prevention field. Since then MAPPA has served as a forum for
discussion of issues, a means of networking within the field and a voice to articulate
prevention concerns.

Although the State of Maryland has made gains in alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD)
prevention over the last fifteen years, Maryland still has an epidemic of alcohol, tobacco
and other drug problems.

MAPPA provides a forum to address these issues.
