Apply for a Prevention Training Scholarship and receive up to $1,000 for trainings and certifications focused on mental health and substance use prevention.

Prevent Coalition, supported by Southwest Washington Accountable Community of Health (SWACH) and the Washington State Department of Health, is offering scholarships to help rural Washington residents access prevention training. These funds support participation in local, state, or national trainings and certifications that focus on mental health or substance use prevention. The scholarships aim to expand access to proven prevention strategies and equip adults with the knowledge and skills to create safer, healthier environments for youth.

Each selected applicant may receive up to $1,000 to cover:

• Training registration or certification fees
• Travel costs (per diem rates apply)
• Lodging expenses

Supported by fiscal agent ESD 112, Prevent Coalition was formed in 2003 to strengthen collaboration, increase awareness, and reduce youth substance use in Southwest Washington State. We also implement initiatives for rural communities across Washington. As a community mobilizer, our coalition creates a culture promoting healthy choices; advocates for policies and regulations that protect, empower and nurture youth; and facilitates positive opportunities for youth to be involved and thrive.
