The Capacity Assessment is a tool which agencies can use to determine motivation for change and readiness for embarking upon comprehensive prevention planning. The tool is intended to facilitate conversations about buy- in and capacity of all partners to contribute to a comprehensive prevention plan in the community. Completing this tool online or submitting a hard copy to CDSS will help identify resources and technical assistance and support needed to build capacity and encourage cross-sector collaboration. Counties can also request support with completing their capacity assessment by emailing FFPSAPreventionServices@dss.ca.gov.
