PA Youth Survey
Webinar
The CCAP Comprehensive Behavioral Health Task
Force is hosting a webinar on Tuesday, May 7, at 9
a.m., sponsored by the PA Commission on Crime and Delinquency.
The webinar will review the PA Youth Survey (PAYS), a commonwealth
conducted a survey of school students in the 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th
grades to learn about their behavior, attitudes and knowledge
concerning alcohol, tobacco, other drugs and violence. The survey
also assesses risk factors that are related to these behaviors and
the protective factors that help guard against them.
The webinar will help counties understand how this important
information can be used to direct resources and planning in a way
that is likely to be most effective. The call is limited to the CCAP
membership, affiliate membership and county staff - commissioners,
council members, county executives, chief clerks, county
administrators, solicitors and county human services staff. The
webinar is limited to the first 100 registrants. We request that you
register as a group and participate in a central location if
possible. Register here. Contact CCAP's Lori Dabbondanza
with questions.

SIPPRA Program
The Social Impact Partnership to Pay for
Results Act (SIPPRA) was signed into law on February 9, 2018 and is
intended to improve the effectiveness of certain social services. The
federal government will pay for a project only if predetermined
project outcomes have been met and validated by an independent
evaluator, a system called a "pay for results partnership."
Congress appropriated $100 million for the SIPPRA program to
implement "Social Impact Partnership Demonstration
Projects" and feasibility studies to prepare for those projects.
Visit here to learn more. The SIPPRA program is
largely administered by the Department of the Treasury.
