The Art of Prevention with Intention

A downloadable registration form is available HERE.

Themed The Art of Prevention with Intention, the conference will explore core tenets of prevention, innovative application, and challenges and opportunities within our field's work. OPPA Conference 2025 is a home for education and dialogue for Ohio’s prevention community.

Large group sessions, interactive workshops, and networking are foundations of the OPPA Conference, and our 2025 event is built around those priorities.

The conference luncheon will feature presentation of the  2025 OPPA Prevention Awards, honoring prevention excellence in our state through recognition of five individual prevention professionals and advocates for their local and/or statewide contributions to prevention.

"The OPPA Conference balances education, critical dialogue, and engagement to reinforce the strength of Ohio's prevention community," states OPPA President Holly Zweizig. "We look forward to bringing together our state's prevention professionals and advocates for a terrific day of learning and professional growth."
