Topic:  Teaching the Substance Abuse Prevention Skills Training (SAPST) in a University

The New England PTTC announces the launch of the Prevention in Action Webinar series.  Each webinar within this webinar series will feature a success story in prevention.  This is an opportunity to share across the New England states those successful prevention initiatives being implemented across the region. It's a chance to learn about a strategy or initiative you may be interested in implementing in your state or community.  Topic areas will include implementing a specific prevention program, implementing an environmental strategy, promoting prevention within communities, building prevention workforce capacity, and many, many more.

In this one-hour self-paced course, participants will:

* Review milestones in this history of prevention certification in Maine
* Review background that led to the development of the SAPST course
* Understand the structure and content of a University course focusing on the SAPST
* Learn about example content of the SAPST course, and
* Examine implementation and logistical methods and challenges of the SAPST course
