REGIONAL
PREVENTION PROGRAM
The
Regional Prevention Program is established to provide for the planning
and implementation of preventive health and health related programs for youth,
other sub-population groups and the community at large. Emphasis is put on the early identification of health
problems and prevention of risky behaviors that lead to premature death
and disability. This
program specifically provides on-going oversight over the Community
Prevention Initiative (CPI) state grant program.
In this regard, subcontracts are developed with local
community-based organizations to provide family enrichment services
which include mentoring, counseling, child development screenings, and
referral services for alcohol and drug abuse programs and activities
using funds allocated by the TN Department of Health and other funding
sources. Technical
assistance is also provided through this program for program planning,
program development, program evaluation, grant writing and for the
development of collaborations for effective service delivery. Lastly,
staff with the Regional Prevention Program provides staff support to the
Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Health Council.
