Coalitions / Prevention
In state fiscal year 2010, the Nevada Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Agency (SAPTA) funded 11 community-based coalitions serving all 17 Nevada counties. Coalitions use the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) Five Step Model to create Comprehensive Community Prevention Plans. The SPF was created by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and is built on science-theory, evidence-based practices, and the knowledge that effective prevention programs must engage individuals, families, and entire communities. The process involves building infrastructure and mobilization within a geographic area.
In state fiscal year 2010, the coalitions managed 90 sub-recipients who served 28,622 participants (22,727 youth; 5,895 adults), with funds from various grants. Additionally, the SAPTA funded providers disseminated approximately 459,940 pieces of literature SAPTA also funds two administrative programs, the Nevada Prevention Resource Center and Crisis Call Center, and the Statewide Coalition Partnership.
