Virtual SAPST - SPF Application for Prevention Success Training
The Virtual SPF Application for Prevention Success Training (SAPST) blends a pre-requisite, self-paced online course with a combination of live, interactive sessions conducted over video conferencing. Grounded in current research and SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), the Virtual SAPST provides foundational knowledge and skills necessary to implement effective, data-driven prevention interventions that improve substance-related outcomes, reduce behavioral health disparities, and improve wellness.
