Timing is Everything: The Role of Developmental Theory in Prevention Program Success
Timing is everything – especially when it comes to delivering successful prevention programs that truly resonate with your audience. This webinar will discuss the importance of considering developmental stage when selecting and implementing evidence-based preventive interventions. Following a brief discussion of developmental theory and how it can be applied to selecting and implementing evidence-based preventive interventions across the lifespan, examples of existing evidence-based programs implemented in several contexts including schools and families will be provided.
In this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Analyze the concept of human development within context.
- Recognize the developmental stages most associated with the peak onset of mental and behavioral health issues and related risk and protective factors.
- Describe how brain development can inform developmentally timed preventive interventions.
- Compare the different types of preventive interventions typically employed at various stages of development.
