For prevention practitioners working to prevent substance misuse in HHS Region 5: IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, WI.

During this interactive virtual workshop we will dig into the just what coalitions and communities can do during the capacity building step of the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). This step can often be the most difficult to conceptualize and implement with fidelity. We will define capacity and discuss concrete steps to take during this important period of strategic planning and how to continue your capacity building efforts throughout the SPF process and beyond.

A link will be sent to all participants on Monday 9/28/2020.
