To Aid Communities In Improving Quality of Life Issues
Florida’s One-Stop-Shop for Comprehensive Prevention Services.
The Florida Prevention Association (FPA) is the state’s premiere “One-Stop-Shop” for all prevention services for youth and families. No longer wil the call for “Pre - vention” assistance from families in need of services fall on deaf ears because getting the right help will be a lot easier through FPA’s comprehensive network of prevention providers and members.
Our objective is to heighten awareness, emphasize the importance of prevention, as well as strengthen the advocacy of traditional, community and faith based organizations/providers of prevention services. This includes, but not limited to, building organizational capacity within communities to address relevant issues, juvenile delinquency, girls initiatives, youth employability skills training and job placement programs as well as an array of other aggressive self help prevention initiatives.
FPA will harness the synergy of prevention service providers throughout the State of Florida to better connect populations in need, with specific prevention services as a means of specializing and linking the needs with services, and thus reducing the need for more intensive and expensive services; which are more restricitve.
