Details for "Prevention Staff Training: Substance Abuse Prevention Across the Lifespan"
Prevention Works! - There can be little argument that this statement
is true. However, there have been many changes in the terminology and
practice of prevention over the past few years. These changes can be
confusing for even the most experienced prevention specialist. This

science and practice and help to dispel myths about what does and
doesn�t work.

Prevention Classifications: universal, selective and indicated.
· Participants will gain knowledge of prevention as a lifelong process
· Participants will gain knowledge of brain development and the impact of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs on the brain

· Participants will gain knowledge of strategies to provide services at various stages of life
