Prevention work is often invisible by design — its success measured by the crises that never arrive. That makes it hard to tell the story of impact, even when it’s real.
Behind every quiet outcome is a lot of work. A parent had a hard conversation before it was needed. A coalition built trust before a crisis tested it. A young person found a caring adult before they had to look elsewhere. None of it made headlines. All of it mattered.
gives CPA members a shared brand for that story, a way to point to the work behind the quiet.
Every CPA member is part of that story and part of what makes it worth telling.
Why Join
Every year, decisions get made in Pennsylvania about how much prevention matters and how much it gets funded. CPA is in the room making the case. Members are what make that possible, and the more of the field we represent, the harder we are to ignore.
And the practical part: members get $100 off the PA Prevention Conference every June. An individual membership is $55. It pays for itself.
What Members Get
- $100 off conference registration, in person or virtual, for every member
- A voice in Harrisburg. We work with state partners and decision makers to protect prevention policy and funding.
- Regional meetings to connect with peers, share what’s working, and hear updates from state partners
- Trainings and webinars through the year

How to Join
Everyone joins through the same form, whether it’s just you or your whole team. There are two roles to know about.
1. The Primary Contact sets up the membership.
This person manages your membership. They make payments, receive renewal and receipt emails, and are the only one who can add or remove members later. Pick someone who can pay by credit card and will still be around at renewal time.
2. Add your members (called “sub-members” on the form).
On the second page, list everyone who should get member benefits.
Important: this includes the Primary Contact. Setting up the membership does not make you a member. If you don’t add yourself to the list, you won’t get the conference discount.
Joining on your own? You’re both. Enter yourself as the Primary Contact, then add yourself again as a member on the second page. For Company Name, use your employer or just your own name.
3. Pay by card or check.
Each member gets their own account for registering for the conference and trainings at member pricing.
