Reducing the Harm of Alcohol Use: A Health Approach to Prevention
This training curriculum equips prevention workers with actionable, evidence-based strategies to minimize the health, social, mental and economic harms of alcohol misuse. Moving beyond traditional abstinence-only models, participants will learn to use a public health approach to
initiate open conversations about risky alcohol use.
Participants will practice person-centered, secondary prevention strategies to identify and address risks before they lead to severe health consequences. Designed as a highly interactive experience, this workshop combines theory with practical, skills-based activities to ensure immediate application in the prevention field.
