The following downloadable presentation provides an overview of the structure and function of our Prevention Directorate and is intended to assist Auxiliary members to better understand the Prevention program in the Auxiliary. It can be used as member training at any level meeting, and we highly recommend that it be presented by an MS Staff Officer who will be able to answer questions about the program. Additionally, the Prevention Directorate Outline will be a useful augmentation and it is intended that these may be used in content.
