Curriculum vitae
Ejna Mitchell is Vice President of Programs and coordinates program development activities. Ejna has been working in the prevention, intervention, and treatment of alcohol and drug related problems since 1989. After four years of clinical work in a Community Mental Health Center, she decided indicated prevention was her passion.

In 1995, PRI started contracting with Ejna for training, and to provide support in the Georgia Risk Reduction Program. She joined PRI staff in 2000.

My personal statement: Helping people is one of my greatest passions. Working at PRI allows me to give to others at work, which I see as a blessing. I have grown up with Prime For Life. I was trained to deliver the program when I was 21 years old, and now 23 years later, it’s such an important part of my life. I love the fact that I get to meet so many wonderful people!
My hometown: Buford, Georgia, outside of Atlanta
