2025 Ohio Prevention Conference: Advancing Prevention Through Integrated Approaches
In collaboration with the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, Prevention Action Alliance invites professionals, practitioners, and organizations to submit presentation proposals for the 2025 Ohio Prevention Conference, which will focus on integrated approaches to advancing prevention efforts across Ohio. The conference will explore how bringing services together to work collaboratively and address the whole person and community can lead to improved prevention outcomes. By aligning resources and integrating services across multiple sectors, integrated approaches can create connected, comprehensive support systems, improve access to resources, and reduce gaps in prevention services.
Proposals should apply to this conference's target audience, including, but not limited to, public and private providers and administrators of behavioral health entities, health departments, educators, social workers, and prevention specialists. Conference presentations should highlight how these integrated methods can promote better outcomes and build stronger, healthier communities by addressing root causes and preventing future challenges. We encourage sessions that showcase real-world examples, best practices, and innovative solutions for integrating services, systems, and strategies.
