Prevention Action Alliance is dedicated to fostering meaningful relationships and embracing cultural humility in our mission to serve communities across the state. Ohio is a wide and diverse state, and we recognize the importance of tailoring solutions to address local challenges while staying grounded in scientific principles.

This past fiscal year, we launched the Prevention and Wellness Academy of Ohio, hosted the inaugural statewide Ohio Alcohol Conference, and spearheaded the implementation of Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) Standards for Ohio prevention agencies. These initiatives reflect our commitment to providing innovative learning opportunities for both professionals and communities.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff, I am pleased to share Prevention Action Alliance’s FY 23 annual report with you. In this report, we showcase these local solutions for local problems, reaffirming that prevention is inclusive and essential for everyone, regardless of age or background. We remain steadfast in our dedication to meeting people where they are, learning from them, and offering practical, evidence-based strategies. It has truly been a rewarding year, and we’re excited to share our progress with you!

In good health,
