Strategic Prevention Framework - State Incentive Grant (SPF-SIG) Hoosier Uplands was awarded $148,750 in funding from the Family and Social Services Administration Department of Mental Health and Addiction (FSSA DMHA).  SPF-SIG is a program that has five areas of focus:  Assessment, Evaluation, Planning, Capacity, and Implementation.  The main goals of the grant are to significantly reduce substance abuse throughout the county, reduce the amount of underage drinking, create community awareness of the alcohol problem locally, and to work with the community to plan and implement programs that will significantly make a difference in the county.  A huge part of the program is collecting data and information on substance abuse that will be put in an epidemiological profile.  Once the data has been collected, the Local Coordinating Council (LCC) and other community members will put together a strategic plan to focus on ways to improve the substance abuse problem that exists. Ryan Fields serves as the project's primary point of contact for this grant. Back
