PreventionWorKS

PreventionWorKS is a statewide Behavioral Health Prevention Coalition with members from across Kansas.
We meet quarterly and focus on five identified purposes:

 

  1. Connection: Supportive mentoring and collaboration
  2. Voice: A place for a shared voice and access to key change agents
  3. Synergy: Opportunities for statewide projects, pooling of resources, unifying voice,
    and collaborative impact that will leverage other opportunities
  4. Empowerment: Opportunities with strength in numbers, elevating success, and sharing statewide and local data
  5. Integration: Integration of approaches to behavioral health promotion and prevention across the continuum of care
