Hey, the 90s called … they want their slide deck AND presentation back! Coalitions 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. 1.5 Hour Certificate of Completion Available

Prescription drugs have become an integral player in today’s opioid epidemic, but they had already been negatively impacting Hispanic and Latino communities in the United States. This webinar will describe how, utilizing the Strategic Prevention Framework, one Latino-serving organization in Georgia has been able to develop and deliver a bilingual, bi- cultural substance abuse prevention program to address prescription drugs for the past five years. Through the use of different environmental strategies, they have been able to increase the awareness of the problem in the community and develop solutions to recognize and prevent prescription drug misuse.
