Foundation for Youth Prevention Initiatives works collaboratively with community members, coalitions, and partners to promote positive mental health and address substance abuse and misuse in Bartholomew County. Funded through the State of Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addictions and the Office of National Drug Control Policy, Foundation for Youth Prevention Initiatives works to raise awareness and provide support to address the pressing needs and risks faced throughout the community. This work is at the forefront of our vision for “A vibrant, healthy community where all individuals are empowered to lead mentally, physically, and socially rewarding lives.”
