The purpose of the Prevention Collective (PC) is to evolve the Milwaukee County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) approach to prevention by integrating strategies across all service areas to create equitable social conditions and increase upstream investments. Powered by Opioid Settlement Funds, the Collective serves as a professional development and support system that bridges service gaps, centers evidence-based content, and fosters internal collaboration. By shifting organizational culture and prioritizing resident needs through the SAMHSA model, the initiative ensures all residents have greater access to resources to effectively navigate life's challenges
