DESCRIPTION:

Professionals new to prevention in higher education may come to their work with diversity in background and training.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Understand and articulate the fundamentals of the public health approach, including how the Strategic Prevention Framework can be used in higher education substance misuse prevention.   
  • Explain the unique substance misuse prevention challenges inherent in higher education settings and selection of evidence-based strategies to address high-risk substance misuse behavior.
  • Return to campus ready to implement evidence-based strategies to address higher education substance misuse prevention, regardless of their previous prevention or higher.

CERTIFICATES:

Registrants who fully attend all three sessions of this training will receive a certificate of attendance via email within two weeks after the event or training. This training will consist of 9 contact hours.
