FAQ's
Q. Can you provide trainings on becoming a Certified Prevention Specialist?
A. Absolutely, as a matter of fact I have developed a two-day training on preparing those in the field that are close to taking their IC&RC exam. I can also provide trainings on every aspect and component of SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework (I have been trained by SAMHSA on this model).
Q. Can you implement new programs or only manage existing ones?
A. Both, I can look at your existing programs and provide a thorough analysis including return on investment, conceptual fit, and practical fit. I can also make recommendations for filling gaps with new evidence-based programs. Most importantly, recommendations made are data driven, and based on local level capacity, and return on investment.
