Universal Opioid and Other Substance Use Prevention Planning: New Tools for K-12 Educators and Prevention Partners - Online Course

*This is an online course- Launches Monday, September 18, 2023 and ends on June 30, 2024

Audience: All school personnel, including General and Special Education Administrators and Teachers, and Student Support Services Professionals

Description:

Resources covered in the course include: worksheets for determining school/district readiness to engage in prevention planning efforts; tips for convening a prevention planning team; an online tool for assessing current prevention programming and identifying program gaps; a synthesis of evidence-based prevention programming; and a case study illustrating how one fictional community engaged in this planning process.
