Prevention Capacity-Building Workshop

Share Health, in partnership with Resilient GA, A&E Consulting, Greater Valdosta United Way, Magnolia House, and the Waycross Family Justice Center, was proud to host an interactive Prevention Capacity-Building Workshop. This in-person training was designed for coalition members and community stakeholders who wanted to strengthen their ability to prevent youth substance use using the Seven Strategies for Community-Level Change.

During the workshop, participants:

• Identified steps to enhance their coalition’s organizational capacity

• Learned and practiced the 5-step Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF)

• Explored the Seven Strategies for Community-Level Change, a framework for effective youth substance use prevention strategies

• Reviewed eligibility and requirements for the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) grant

Share Health was excited to have Ari Russell and Ellen Gerstein of A&E Consulting in Southeast Georgia delivering this training. They shared valuable capacity-building strategies to help implement youth substance use prevention.

A special thank-you goes to Greater Valdosta United Way, Magnolia House, and the Waycross Family Justice Center for their support in bringing this training to our community partners.
