The Mentor Foundation focuses on the prevention of drug misuse in its efforts to promote the health and well-being of children and young people and to reduce damage to their lives. Mentor aims to support the effective use of resources (human, financial and intellectual) to achieve its goals. Mentor's focus is to "help the helpers", by identifying the most promising and excellent practices for drug misuse prevention and by disseminating this experience and knowledge internationally.
