Description: : The federal government, through SAMHSA’s Center for Substance Abuse Prevention department, has defined six specific strategies that can (and should) be utilized by prevention professionals. This language provides our field with the ability to articulate the work we do, and in some cases, to obtain funding for those services. But the “CSAP 6” is more than that! When fully understood, these strategies can be intentionally and strategically applied to enhance the comprehensiveness of prevention programming. In fact, research indicates that when prevention programs utilize the entire spectrum of these approved strategies, they are more likely to reach their intended goals. This session will define the 6 CSAP strategies using real life prevention programming examples and is best suited for beginner prevention professionals. Participants will participate in an experiential learning process by applying these strategies to their unique programs to develop more comprehensive and effective prevention programs for the benefit of their programs, organizations, and ultimately the people and communities that they serve.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Define the six Center for Substance Abuse Prevention’s federally defined prevention strategies.
  2. Articulate the difference between primary prevention strategies and supporting prevention strategies.
  3. Develop a minimum of three activities for each of the six CSAP strategies.
