2025 Prevention Summit - October 24, 2025
Featured Keynote Speaker: Dr. Alvin Caldwell, Jr.
Licensed School Psychologist, Raymond School District, Founder of SEED LLC, Author, Advocate
Dr. Alvin Caldwell, Jr. brings a powerful message of reflection, resilience, and purpose. In his talk, The Chronicles of Childhood-Adolescent Traumas and Dramas: The Making of Your Lifetime Chat, GPT, he shares stories and lessons from decades of work in hospitals, treatment centers, schools, and communities, including partnerships with school districts, clinical practices, churches, judicial systems, and CEOs.
With deep respect for the experiences of young people, Dr. Caldwell reminds us that childhood and adolescence are not just eras before adulthood, but are vital chapters of learning, growth, and strength. He invites all attendees to reflect on their own life stories and to keep good notes along the way.
“Life is intended to be a never-ending journey of truth, wisdom, and grace; life is the best teacher for those who are willing to be its courageous pupils.”

This is on top of compliments such as it is "The premier prevention event happening in NH."
We want to thank everyone who joined us for the day and helped to make it happen with financial supported as well as help with the many, many tasks that go along with planning such a great event.

2021 Prevention Summit In Review
The 2021 Prevention Summit theme was the puzzle piece, to highlight the important role that each member, business, organization and induvial citizen plays in the success of a coalition. The event is designed to offer a compelling learning experience, with a focus on substance misuse prevention, focusing on the protection of our children and a safe community. Each of the past seven years, our event venue has been packed to capacity.
Our breakfast presentation has become our premier awareness and engagement event to help provide information and solution-based approaches to prevention work and community engagement. Our guests represent law enforcement, schools, parents, healthcare, media, businesses, faith-based organizations, youth, and elected local, county and state representatives.
