About the SAPST Training:
The SPF: Application for Prevention Success Training (SAPST) is a foundational course of study in substance abuse prevention. This version was created through a collaborative effort of SAMHSA’s regional Prevention Technology Transfer Centers (PTTCs), National Coordinating Office, and Texas Prevention Training. It is for prevention practitioners working in states, jurisdictions, tribes and communities. The SAPST training is grounded in current research and SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework. It provides knowledge and skills to implement effective, data-driven prevention programs, practices, and policies that reduce behavioral health disparities and improve wellness.
