Prevention

DPI focuses on providing evidence-based prevention programs and strategies for youth and families to prevent the early onset of substance misuse and mental health issues in our community.Our activities are primarily funded by state and federal grants, including the ONDCP Drug Free Communities (DFC) Grant and funding through Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).DPI utilizes a data driven public health model and  our choice of activities and strategies are driven by a Strategic Prevention Framework. Our coalition is actively involved in all aspects of our work.
