As part of our mission to transform lives, the state Department of Social and Health Services/Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR), worked with our partners to redesign state funding and leverage limited resources for prevention in targeted, high-need communities.
DBHR invests in prevention planning and practices that lead to the best possible outcomes. We support prevention coalitions to provide school and community-based prevention services through our publicly-funded Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative (CPWI). The goal of this initiative is to support proven strategies and sustainable funding that will have long-term, positive impacts on families and communities. CPWI programs are implemented through active partnerships with county governments, Educational Service Districts, local school districts, and the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Services are available in 52 communities, located in all 39 counties and nine educational service districts.
