Description
The Washington State Health Care Authority’s Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR) funds community-based organizations to deliver prevention and promotion services in high-need Washington communities. The initiative supports evidence-based, research-based, and innovative programs addressing targeted local needs. Activities include mentoring, parenting education, community awareness, training, and youth skill building.
Three funding streams address opioid misuse prevention, youth cannabis misuse prevention, and mental health promotion and suicide prevention. The program seeks to expand prevention capacity, address health disparities, and support culturally competent services. Organizations are encouraged to partner with existing community coalitions, including the Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative, to extend their reach and support strategic plans. Organizations may also operate independently to address an identified community need.
