SUMMARY:Uncovering What Does NOT Work in Substance Misuse Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Uncovering What Does NOT Work in Substance Misuse Prevention\nIn the world of substance misuse prevention\, we often hear about what does work—research-backed strategies that make a real impact. But what about the methods that don’t work? Surprisingly\, many communities continue to use outdated\, ineffective\, or even harmful prevention practices despite decades of research showing they fail to deliver. This 90-minute webinar will explore the common yet misguided approaches still in use\, shedding light on why they don’t work and the unintended consequences they can create. We’ll also dive into practical strategies for prevention professionals to overcome the resistance they often face when challenging long-held beliefs and entrenched practices. Join us to rethink the status quo\, equip yourself with the knowledge to advocate for change\, and help build more effective prevention efforts in your community. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nIdentify at least 5 interventions that have been shown through research to NOT be effective in preventing substance misuse\nList evidence-based approaches that are alternatives to the ineffective/counterproductive strategies\nDescribe strategies to address resistance to discontinuing ineffective and/or counterproductive prevention strategies

SUMMARY:Building Sustainable Prevention Systems
DESCRIPTION:Building Sustainable Prevention Systems\nStarts: Dec. 8\, 2026 1:00 pm\nEnds: Dec. 8\, 2026 3:00 pm\n\nSustainability has always been a centerpiece of our prevention work\, but it is often overlooked. Even traditional sustainability models have centered on static plans created near the end of a funding cycle with an eye toward sustaining programs through existing funding sources. In today’s prevention landscape change can happen rapidly and unexpectedly. Prevention professionals need to be prepared to make decisions quickly. Sustainability now looks less like a fixed long-term plan\, and more like a dynamic\, responsive way of considering your work at all times. Prevention work requires us to be flexible\, adaptable\, and focused on community partnerships. \nThis training will offer practitioners an opportunity to reframe sustainability as an ongoing process of change and decision-making by integrating prevention science\, practical funding strategies\, and change management approaches while emphasizing sustainability throughout the grant life cycle and Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). The training will be interactive and include large and small group discussions.  Participants will be expected to have their cameras on with a working microphone to engage in this interactive training to learn and share with their peers. \nEvent Type\nWebinar/Virtual Training\n\nHosted by\n\n\nGreat Lakes PTTC\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Tending Your Wellness as a Substance Misuse Prevention Professional: Physical and Environmental Wellness

SUMMARY:The Two-Minute Ask: Elevator Pitches that Move Prevention Forward
DESCRIPTION:The Two-Minute Ask: Elevator Pitches that Move Prevention Forward\nPrevention professionals rarely get more than a minute or two to make their case to the school board member\, county commissioner\, or parent who can actually move their work forward. This 90-minute webinar builds one simple framework\, the three Cs (Connect\, Convince\, Confirm)\, and walks you through writing and delivering a 90-second pitch built around a real ask you actually need to make. Along the way\, you’ll learn to break the curse of knowledge (the trap of assuming someone already knows what you know) by translating your data into a person-centered story with a genuine happy-sad-happy arc. \n AUDIENCE EXPERIENCE LEVEL Click for info \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nStructure a 90-second prevention pitch around the three Cs: Connect\, Convince\, and Confirm.\nTranslate a piece of prevention data into a person-centered story that lands with a non-expert decision-maker\nDeliver that pitch with a specific ask and intentional vocal delivery\, including warmth\, and visible passion
