The EIP introduces the six principles of the Prevention Code of Ethics and provides an ethical decision-making model to assess, address, and evaluate a range of ethical issues.
Participants advance their understanding of the Prevention Code of Ethics, discuss ethical issues related to prevention topics, and practice applying the ethical decision-making model in real world situations.
The PST provides an overview of prevention’s underlying principles through 5 distinct 3-hour modules: 1. Elements of Cultural Competency 2. Communication 3. Child and Adolescent Development 4. Risk and Protective Factors 5. A Lifespan Approach to Prevention
The four-day SAPST is grounded in recent research and SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) to cover topics from the public health approach to prevention through each step of the SPF.
“One of the things I enjoy most about training, is bringing the content to life through shared experiences. I also love getting to meet and work with a variety of people from many different backgrounds.”
“Training is my passion. It fuels my fire! I love being a part of the puzzle that helps the Prevention field to do things with excellence. I love bringing energy to create a space for participants to learn from one another, process with peers and find the ah-ha moments that align with daily job responsibilities. Feeling sharpened and empowered to do what you do more efficiently and effectively is one of the highest compliments to me!”
