ATTENTION PREVENTION PROVIDERS:  This is a training for DMHAS funded prevention providers, particularly focused for SPF-SIG/BP and PFS grantees and their members. It will help the interaction on the day of the event, if you can bring your SPF-SIG/ Best Practice/Performance for Success Plans or Program's Cultural Competency Plans with you, or review them prior to attending. That way, you can ensure you are meeting your training needs on how to apply this prevention-oriented information to the "5 Steps" for your specific DMHAS-Funded grant programs. Remember, this is a foundational class that should help you apply theory to your SPF-SIG/BP/PFS practice and steps.
