In December of 2024, Four Rivers visited 3 of 4 school districts in Hamilton County. We administered the Bach-Harrison Prevention Needs Assessment Survey. The PNA survey collects risk and protective factor data that will identify community needs on a local level and then allow schools, school districts, counties, regions, and the state to target services to address those needs.
