Annual Prevention Summit
Since 1998, the California Prevention Collaborative (CPC) has been hosting an Annual Summit for the purpose of convening the prevention field to:
- Dialogue about current issues facing the field; and
- Share and learn about up-to-date evidence-based alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD) prevention strategies.
Goals of the Annual Summit include:
- Identifying common areas of concern across the Prevention field;
- Discussing strategies for addressing common areas of concern;
- Developing recommendations to the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs (CA - ADP) and other state agencies about ways to support the prevention field;
- Identifying areas for advocacy for the prevention field; and
- Contributing to creating a more knowledgeable and competent prevention workforce.
The Prevention Summit has and continues to provide an opportunity to bring together a diverse group of stakeholders, youth, community coalitions, educators, law enforcement, health professionals, community-based organizations, county alcohol, tobacco and other drug administrators, and community members.
