Community Level Prevention
The SAPP funds community-level prevention activities based on data. Community Prevention Specialists (CPS) work with local coalitions to strengthen the prevention efforts around suicide, alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. Needs assessments help identify current conditions, strengths, and challenges based on relevant data.
