Evolution of SPF Model in Missouri
In our latest podcast Dr. Susan Depue with the Missouri Institute of Mental Health talks about her work in helping to lead her state's prevention efforts since 2006. Dr. Depue discusses the timeline from when the state was an early pioneer of the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) to the current day. She also provides leadership for the Partnership for Success initiative and is developing a prevention model to reduce methamphetamine use in Missouri.
The needs assessment is the foundation of the Strategic Prevention Framework and the cornerstone of community change. As leaders in prevention we all want to make sure our efforts have impact, but for that to happen we have to know where to begin. As a twenty year veteran of prevention Alicia Ozenberger has developed a toolbox filled with strategies to help us get started on gathering and using assessment data. Whether you're building a coalition, developing a strategy or writing a grant, this virtual training will help provide the direction needed to gain the outcome you desire.
