  2. Purpose • The DSHS Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR) is committed to contracting with county governments and OSPI to provide effective prevention services to reduce alcohol, tobacco and other drug use by our state’s youth, and the related negative consequences. • We anticipate that moving to a community-focused approach, with the expertise and commitment of our state and community partners, will help us leverage resources and focus and concentrate our efforts. • This will help Washington’s prevention field build on what works, have a deeper impact, better measure those impacts, and build support for additional investments in prevention.
