The New England PTTC has developed free self-paced prevention courses that have been posted to the PTTC Network's learning portal. This is one of the strategies of the New England PTTC to increase and expand access to prevention training for the New England workforce.
We know it sometimes can be challenging to access a variety of prevention training due to distance and just finding the time in your schedule to attend trainings.
With these on-demand courses, you can register and take the course on your schedule, and get continuing education credits towards your prevention certification!
Many of these courses began as free, live webinars that were recorded and turned into self-paced courses that prevention professionals can take at any time, at their convenience. Our goal, is to offer a wide variety of prevention topics and content to the workforce. Many more courses are in development, keep checking back for more courses!

Course Summary: Hey, the 90s called … they want their slide deck AND presentation back! Prevention professionals use presentations as a primary strategy to disseminate information, build skills, ignite calls to action and influence change. However most of us never receive any formal training in presentation design – despite all we expect them to do for us. Consequently, our presentations are as dated as dial-up Internet. In this session, you’ll learn a framework based in brain science to develop and deliver exceptional presentations – every time – using the tools and resources you already have. Get ready to transform your audience with modern and powerful presentations.
Learning Objectives, at the end of this session participants will be able to:
Continuing Education Credits Available: 1.5 Hour Certificate of Completion Available

Presenter: Alison Schonwald, MD
Course Summary: Those working with young children have long known the importance of early experiences and relationships in healthy child development. Newer terms such as toxic stress and ACES are used when describing these not-so-new ideas, and are particularly important when working with families impacted by substance abuse. During this online training, learners will expand their current knowledge about early development to include up-to-date science that is accessible and useful in daily real-life interactions. Using a case-based approach, participants will apply new knowledge to familiar scenarios to enhance their engagement with high-risk young children and families.
Learning Objectives, at the end of this session participants will be able to:
Continuing Education Credits Available: 1.0 Hour Certificate of Completion Available
IC & RC Prevention Domains: Domain 6 - Professional Growth & Responsibility

Course Summary: Cannabis laws and policies are rapidly changing in states. Various decriminalization, medical marijuana, and adult-use marijuana policies are being debated and moving through state legislatures and ballot boxes. Amid all of this change, where does prevention fit in? This course shows participants how these policies can evolve, the implications for public health and safety, and how and where prevention fits in. Participants will learn from a presenter with hands-on experience both in prevention and shaping marijuana policies. Additionally, participants will learn about the marijuana prevention training and technical assistance services from the NewEngland PTTC.
