After much consideration and with public health as our top priority, we have decided to cancel the 2020 Shared Risk and Protective Factors Conference due to the Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). CDPHE’s Prevention Services Division is canceling all large gatherings, trainings, and conferences through the end of May based on public health and social distancing recommendations. We hope that an early decision to cancel this conference in May can help local communities better plan and adjust for the remainder of the fiscal year. We also know that many local public health agency staff are being drafted into their local outbreak response.
Despite the conference cancellation, please check out our virtual Shared Risk and Protective Factors offerings from May 18th through May 29th:

The Shared Risk and Protective Factors Conference attracts adults and young people from across Colorado actively engaged in upstream or primary prevention efforts at the state and local level. By applying a ‘shared risk and protective factors’ lens, we can positively impact young people through reducing risk behaviors and increasing protective factors in the family, school, and community. This conference recognizes the importance of health equity and seeks to incorporate discussion of health equity in all sessions. This event aims to strengthen collaboration efforts across organizations and funders; build skills to enhance implementation of evidence-based prevention practices, policies, and programs; and highlight successful efforts of community-led coalitions.
This conference is intended for people currently actively engaged in creating connected communities and safe, healthy, and successful youth using a shared risk and protective factor upstream prevention approach, including stakeholders of the following grant programs:
| Child Fatality Prevention System | Opioid Overdose Prevention Program |
| Collaborative Management Program | Sexual Violence Prevention |
| Communities that Care | Substance Abuse Prevention |
| Department of Education | Suicide Prevention |
| Department of Transportation | Tony Grampsas Youth Services Program |
| Essentials for Childhood | Violence & Injury Prevention |
| Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Systems | Youth Partners |
| Maternal and Child Health | and many more |
| Office of Behavioral Health |
