Your investment helps CPA remain a strong statewide voice for prevention, supporting the communities, systems, and partnerships that serve youth and families across the Commonwealth.
At CPA, we work alongside prevention professionals across Pennsylvania to strengthen communities, elevate youth voice, advance effective strategies, and keep prevention visible in policy and practice statewide.
As we celebrate 50 years, we continue looking ahead to the challenges, partnerships, and opportunities shaping the future of prevention.
While grant funding supports specific programs and deliverables, financial contributions from SCAs help strengthen the broader statewide work that connects prevention efforts through advocacy, youth engagement, collaboration, training, and shared resources for the field.

CPA received an OpenAI grant to develop field resources addressing social media, mental health, and artificial intelligence. In March 2026, two separate juries found that social media platforms knowingly designed products that contributed to harm among young people, reinforcing concerns prevention professionals have raised for years. CPA has the resources to help your county respond.

CPA's Executive Director and board leadership will host an in-person lunch gathering with a select group of your county's prevention leaders. This is a working conversation focused on emerging trends, local challenges, prevention priorities, and what communities across Pennsylvania need most right now.
Insights from these conversations directly inform CPA's legislative visits, policy priorities, and discussions with state decision-makers.
