After working with prevention specialists for more than ten years, I created this podcast to explore the work of these community heroes. In the first episode, we explore the meaning of prevention and how it is applied to efforts to educate communities about substance use and other risky behaviors. 

My guest is Shelia Lythgoe, a Prevention Specialist with Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare in Roanoke, Virginia.
