The Excellence in Prevention (EIP) page is a resource specifically designed for Washington State Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR) contractors to support prevention planning and implementation.
The page is managed by the evidence-based programs (EBP) team to help support our system in understanding and applying the science. Much of the information provided on individuals programs and strategies is drawn from external sources, including evidence-based program registries (such as Blueprints for Healthy Youth Development), program websites, and developer submissions. It is curated to support DBHR contractors in making informed decisions that align with Washington’s prevention goals.
For more on prevention service models funded DBHR visit pages on the Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative (CPWI), Community Based Organizations (CBOs), and Tribal prevention and wellness.

For DBHR Grantees: Navigating the Excellence in Prevention Page
The list currently includes four different funding source abbreviations to help DBHR contractors identify which programs are eligible under specific funding streams. Some programs are approved only under specific funding sources, while others may be eligible across multiple sources. It is important to carefully review the table below and ensure program(s) selected meets the needs of the community and aligns with contract requirements. If a program is listed on the EIP page, it is considered EBP for the specific funding source(s) indicated.
To support effective program selection, a filtering tool is available on the side of the list. This tool allows providers to narrow program options based on variety of criteria. If you are unsure if a program is appropriate, please reach out to your prevention manager or the EBP Team for support.
At the bottom of the page, you can find additional tools and resources.
