Introduction to Environmental Approaches to Prevent Substance Abuse and Problems
LEVEL: Foundation
NOTE: This course meets Prevention Certification requirements toward Public Policy & Environmental Strategies Domain
Many prevention programs are aimed at addressing individual risk factors that are associated with substance abuse and related harms. In contrast to these approaches, environmental interventions, such as policies that reduce access to substances, target the entire community and work synergistically with individual interventions. This approach to prevention parallels substance abuse treatment, in which strategies that target the individual work in combination with strategies that change the environment into which the newly sober individual must return.
This course will provide the foundation for understanding environmental prevention approaches that target community risk factors for substance abuse and problems.
By the end of this course participants will:
- Define environmental strategies and discuss how they differ from individual approaches
- Name the three components of environmental interventions
- Identify types of environmental strategies

Integrated Assessment and Case Planning for the Criminal Justice Population
LEVEL: Intermediate
Many people who arrive at the doors of human service agencies already have been overwhelmed by unresponsive institutions. Feelings of hopelessness, alienation and vulnerability describe their overall outlook on their lives; however, many of these clients only seek to play a significant role in the system that affects their daily living. The supervising agency and staff should use a variety of techniques with the client to assist him/her in learning alternative behaviors that will contribute to their overall success. This can be accomplished by developing a goal oriented case plan that ensures ownership and acceptance of services while matching the client’s dynamic factors with appropriate services.
The key to a successful case plan is to engage the client in a collaborative change process through the building of a supervision alliance. This engagement enhances intrinsic motivation, targets appropriate needs and establishes behavioral reinforcements. In this workshop we will learn the techniques to develop a complete needs assessment through interviewing strategies, identifying and exploring targeted needs of the client, providing clear expectations for supervision and implementing a process that is as important as the plan.
