In collaboration with other state agencies and prevention organizations, the WA HCA Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR) hosts an annual Washington State Prevention Summit each fall in central Washington or virtually. The summit is described as "an enriching training and networking opportunity for youth, volunteers, and professionals engaged in health promotion and the prevention of substance misuse, violence, and other high-risk behaviors, in a setting that promotes cultural humility." The program also offers a youth track to get youth volunteers involved in prevention initiatives.
