The goal of the SAPST is to develop the basic knowledge and skills needed by substance misuse prevention practitioners to plan, implement, and evaluate effective, data-driven programs and practices that reduce behavioral health disparities and improve wellness. The SAPST is intended as an introductory level course; throughout the course of their careers, prevention practitioners will need additional and more advanced workforce development opportunities beyond the SAPST.

Flashlights Spring 2023
Date: 1/24/2023 – 3/28/2023
When: Tuesdays, 2:00 PM -3:00 PM MT
Racism has been declared a public health crisis and is a key obstacle to reducing health inequity. Flashlights, our anti-racism project, was intentionally designed for people who identify as white to “do the work.” We offer less "what to do about racism?" and more "what it looks like to do it." We create a learning environment that invites authentic expression and bypasses a one-and-done, informational approach.
Each Live Learning Session on Zoom offers 60 minutes of facilitated practice of conversations about race. Flashlights holds up a mirror to show the culture white people inhabit, and what could be if we showed up as alternative voices willing to talk and act regarding racism.
