The mission of Pajaro Valley Prevention and Student Assistance (PVPSA) is to improve the quality of life of children, youth, and families of the greater Pajaro Valley by providing health education, mental health, and substance use services, and by advocating for public policies that protect the wellbeing of our community.
​
By helping prevent criminal behavior, gang involvement, truancy, and drug, alcohol, and tobacco use, PVPSA promotes student success and improves the quality of life in our community and its schools.
PVSPA's work with the families and students across the Pajaro Valley has been invaluable to our school district. Their support has provided essential prevention and intervention services, resources and programs that positively impact our students' educational outcomes. The caring and dedicated staff of PVPSA significantly increase our students' health and wellbeing, ultimately benefiting the entire community as together we lift up and empower a future-ready generation.
