CalPrevents

CalPrevents connects children and family wellness professionals across California’s Counties and Tribes. Members participate in peer-to-peer learning through the exchange of valuable insights, experiences, and resources. The CalPrevents community includes those who are newly acquainting themselves with prevention strategies and individuals with years of expertise in the field. 

CalPrevents is currently available to the following:  

• Family First Prevention Services (FFPS) Program County Staff (Child Welfare, Probation, Behavioral Health, Public Health, Office of Education, etc.) 
  
• Tribal Members and Representatives 
• County Welfare Directors Association of California (CWDA) 
• Chief Probation Officers of California (CPOC) 
• Community-Based Organizations 
• Other Groups and Lived Experts Working in Prevention (Child Abuse Prevention Councils (CAPCs), Family Resource Centers (FRCs), etc.) 
• Regional Training Academies (RTAs) 
• Technical Assistance (TA) Partners 

CalPrevents is an online community of practice designed to be a virtual learning collaborative. 

CalPrevents is a partnership between the Office of Child Abuse and Prevention (OCAP) and Casey Family Programs, supported by Implematix. 

We are here to learn from each other to support child, family, and community well-being across the state of California. 

CalPrevents gives you the opportunity to connect with your peers across the state who often face similar challenges and situations. Members share their questions and concerns as well as their insights and best practices. On CalPrevents, you can share and access documents and video recordings as well participate in livestreamed events, a conversation board, and private messaging.  Members can customize notifications on their accounts to stay up to date on activities and discussions that are taking place on the platform. 

CalPrevents focuses on strategies that specifically support agencies to eliminate the disproportional representation of any demographic group in the child welfare, juvenile justice, or mental health systems, and to provide equity for underrepresented and marginalized communities. These strategies support improved safety and well-being for all children and families in California. 

CalPrevents is hosted on a platform called Mighty Networks that is fully compliant with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA).
