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. She was trained in Prime For Life in 1990, and in 1994 began teaching Prime For Life on a regular basis on college campuses, alternative schools, DUI schools, parent programs, and workplace programs. 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. Ejna received her Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Georgia and her Master’s Degree from the University of Alabama. She lives in Georgia where she enjoys spending time with her husband and three children.

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
