Engaging Young Adults in Prevention Planning and Implementation

Recording: Engaging Young Adults in Prevention Planning and Implementation

 

DESCRIPTION:

Finding the right mix of volunteers for local prevention efforts can be tricky. No one wants to waste valuable time or resources, but we are left with a series of questions as we look to involve the next generation of leaders, including young adults (ages 18-25) throughout the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) process. What’s their incentive? Who are their connections? Where is their help most needed? How do we bring them into the fold? During this session we will go beyond wishing, hoping, and dreaming that our strategies are sticky enough to move Gen Z (and others) to join local prevention efforts.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Describe what motivates young adults to engage in prevention efforts
  • List action steps to engage young adults into the SPF process
  • Assess local prevention efforts to identify where to engage young adults.
