Upcoming Training Events
Prevention Skills Training
November 2nd-5th ♦ Greenwood ♦ 9am-5pm each day ♦ Free ♦ 28 CEU
The Prevention Skills Training will offer a comprehensive introduction to the substance abuse prevention field. Grounded in current research and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), this training is designed to help practitioners develop the knowledge and skills needed to implement effective, data-driven prevention. Using case scenarios, participants will work through each of the SPF steps - assessment, capacity, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Participants get the opportunity to assess data and prioritize risk and protective factors; engage in capacity-building activities and assess community resources and readiness; infuse cultural competency and sustainability in community planning; employ
activities to determine best practical fit for implementation; and determine effective measures for short-and long-term evaluation.
Increasing Cultural Competence Within Organizations
December 1 ♦ 9am-4pm ♦ Indianapolis ♦ Free ♦ 6CEU
It is important to understand our own culture and the cultures around us in which we live, work, and especially those in which we serve others. Much work has been done in prevention to increase cultural knowledge, awareness, sensitivity, competency, and humility. Equally important is the concept of culturally competent organizations. In its Community Tool Box, the Center for Community Health and Development defines a culturally competent organization as one that “brings together knowledge about different groups of people -- and transforms it into standards, policies, and practices that make everything work.” This training will include discussion, learning, and skill assessment in relationship to organizational (which includes coalitions) cultural competence.
