From successfully advocating for upstream policies, to launching a texting app connecting Latino/e/x residents in San Diego’s Border Region to trusted services, to providing thousands of residents with resources, 2023 was a year of improving community health in Southern California and beyond.
We believe in collective responsibility and collective impact. Together, we address community trauma. We reduce underage drinking rates. We implement healthy food systems. Most importantly, we create the power for change.
IPS partners with communities to champion health, safety, and opportunity for all.
IPS has been the lead agency for a wide range of upstream prevention programs around the nation.
IPS’s Toolkit assists advocates, community groups, prevention practitioners, and policymakers in achieving community transformation.
