Prevention Planning
There are few shared tools for prevention planning that are used widely across, states, jurisdictions and communities. This not only means that individual prevention planning bodies must spend time and energy recreating tools and processes that others have developed, but it is harder for the field to share and compare data and information. In this innovation stream we explore tools and strategies to support prevention planning at state and community levels that can be adapted to your circumstances.
