South Dakota
Prevention Framework
 
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." - Helen Keller

Multiple state agencies worked collaboratively to develop the South Dakota Prevention Framework to create common language and a process when doing prevention programming. It is also designed to guide prevention programming along the continuum of Good, Better, and Best.
