Our training teaches us that there can be dozens of risk factors that can influence behavior.  We work to reduce or prevent risk factors that lead to bad decisions; that's why we call ourselves the Manhattan Area, Risk Prevention Coalition.

We have also been trained to work with Seven Comprehensive Strategies in order to be most effective with our resources.  Many of our members work in professional organizations that specialize in some way of helping; MARPC is a way that all of the individual programs can find ways to work together in order to be most effective.
