Summary:

The Power of Prevention is part of the NET Training Institute’s Wingspread Series.  (This self-study series is geared toward people seeking to meet their professional, ministerial, and personal goals through distance education.  NTI provides the student with a Certificate of Completion—which some certifying agencies approve for education credit hours towards professional certification and/or re-licensure—upon payment and return of completed student documentation sheets from the study guide.)  The Power of Prevention will familiarize members of the faith community with the tremendous impact of substance abuse and introduce them to the comprehensive array of prevention strategies and services.  It includes a discussion of the concepts and key premises of prevention programs and describes how to identify effective programs.  A separate section is devoted to discussing research findings on the power of spirituality and religion to reduce the risk of substance abuse and on the new and expanded roles that faith communities can play in prevention.

Why does FASTEN recommend this resource?

The Power of Prevention self-study course compiles and analyzes reports, resources, and articles dealing with substance abuse and prevention that are relevant for the faith community.  Its workbook-style format and fill-in-the-blank structure lends itself to professionals who work best by studying on their own.  It is a good study for counselors or professionals seeking continuing education credits.
