Prevention Across the Lifespan

Unlike many public health issues, substance use and misuse prevention has traditionally been addressed in silos. This interactive webinar explores how shifting away from a siloed approach can support effective, conception-to-grave substance misuse prevention.

Participants will gain foundational knowledge essential to understanding prevention across the lifespan, including:

  • Human growth and development
  • Brain development and the impact of substances at various stages of life
  • Strategies to address service provision challenges across age groups

The webinar also examines demographic trends such as the growing population of baby boomers, the effects of substances on the aging body, and key risk and protective factors for older adults.

This session is ideal for prevention professionals, educators, service providers, and others interested in a comprehensive, lifespan-focused approach to substance misuse prevention.
