A note from Julie Peterson…

I’m pleased to inform you that the updated version of the Youth Engagement Guide  is post on our website and available for your use! We have incorporated suggestions from youth around the state-including updated information about voter registration. I am grateful for the assistance of Peggen Frank for permission to use a biography of Nisqually Tribal member, Native American environmental leader, and treaty rights activist, Billy Frank, Jr. I hope that youth who learn about Mr. Frank’s extraordinary life are inspired on their own advocacy journey. To quote Mr. Frank, “Everyone Needs to See a Future.”

My thanks to Edgar Lopez-Baez for his amazing graphics skills!

Please reach out to us with any questions or suggestions.

In this season of gratitude, please know we are grateful for you and all the work you do!

Warm regards,

Julie

This survey provides the San Juan Island Prevention Coalition (SJIPC) with some local information about community perceptions and looks at it as one point of data reference along with the Healthy Youth Survey, school intervention data that the Student Assistant Professional collects, and the program assessments for the programs that the SJIPC helps to fund: Community Based Mentoring and Strengthening Families provided by the SJI Family Resource Center, Second Step in the elementary school, LifeSkills Training in Grade 6 at FHMS, and the SAP (formerly the Prevention Intervention Specialist full-time position with now titled the Student Assistance Professional) that provides full-time prevention intervention support at the middle and high schools through support of the NWESD’s and the Coalition’s CPWI (Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative) partnership. Most importantly, CPWI has helped the SJIPC to support the growth of youth leadership prevention clubs, Rock Solid, HOTS, and HOT, Jr. The SJIPC’s robust social media presence links to national, regional, and state public awareness campaigns.

Please help the SJIPC to gain continued support through the WA Health Care  Authority’s Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative, which invests in our community by formalizing and support coordination of community-based      decision making, by completing this survey. 

San Juan Island Prevention Coalition was founded in December 2003, and began receiving federal Drug-Free Communities funding in 2004, and had the benefit of that support for ten years. SJIPC has been able to sustain its work through CPWI funding, a mix of federal block grant funding (Substance Abuse Block Grant/SABG), and state Dedicated Marijuana Account (DMA) dollars. As a CPWI coalition, the SJIPC also have been able to receive federal Partnership for Success (PFS) supplemental funds that helped them to pilot the very successful Second Step program in grades K-5.

Thank you for completing this short anonymous 4-5 minute survey. Here are a few photos of our Youth Leadership Training and Efforts:) Thanks for your support!

Oh my Goodness! The community represented!! They showcased our “Grow the Good” theme with their creative and darling t-shirt designs at our Annual Fair Booth Activity: Make a FREE Healthy Message T-shirt.

Here’s just a few of the over 600 positive messages made in 4 days at our San Juan County Fair Booth 2022! ENJOY! We also want to shout out to all who volunteered to make our Fair Booth the “Best Non-Profit” Fair Booth by Popular Vote! What a fun four days it was!!!

Contact us for details! We have the support of many coalition leaders, public health professionals, and community members working to promote health and well-being for our youth and families. Getting involved at the legislative level can feel daunting, but we are here to support you and help grow your skills.

We are gearing up for our In-Person Fair Booth at the San Juan County Fair 2022! We are excited and are calling on other community members interested in promoting health and wellness at our booth!

All programs approved and established since 2014-2018 are continuing (actually some since the Drug-Free Community Grant (DFC) grant in 2003-04!)  What a journey it has been! Sustainability has always been a goal in our prevention work:)
