18th Annual Partners in Prevention Conference
Hosted by DFPS Prevention & Early Intervention Division
September 25-27, 2018 – Arlington, TX

Partners in Prevention is the largest annual gathering of prevention and early intervention professionals in Texas. The conference attracts parent educators, youth service providers, civic leaders, policy advocates, researchers and others with a professional interest in child and family well-being, youth development and juvenile justice.

Our 2018 theme — Teaming Up for Texas Families — is a rallying cry for reducing child abuse, enhancing school readiness, improving social-emotional and physical health, and strengthening communities.
