About Us

Maine’s Higher Education Alcohol Prevention Partnership (HEAPP) is a partnership between Maine’s colleges and universities and the Maine Office of Substance Abuse to bring about long-term, systemic change in how high-risk drinking and other substance abuse issues are addressed at the state and local levels.

The work of HEAPP focuses on changing the legal, economic, and social factors in the campus and community environment that may encourage high-risk drinking. The Partnership’s efforts include collaborative events, projects, and resources which benefit not only participating campuses but also Maine’s higher education community and the state as a whole.

HEAPP encourages involvement from all who would benefit from a safer and more health-promoting higher education environment. Stakeholders include:

• Students
• Parents
• Staff
• Faculty
• Administration
• Community Members
• Law Enforcement
• Health & Prevention Advocates
