Prevention Applications
Community of Practice
Prevention Applications Community of Practice spaces will support the continuing education of prevention professionals in a manner that is engaging, focused on skill building, dynamic, and in line with statewide goals. Together we will “unpack” what has been learned in professional competency training events, thus supporting the application of skills and development of sector partnerships and networking. Prevention Applications spaces are intended to be a collective learning space with reflection opportunities for participants.
