Request an Onsite CPI Training
Do you or your team want to learn more about SUD Pv frameworks, strategies, and evidence-based practices? Are you looking to build your team's capacity to plan, implement, or evaluate your SUD Pv program? Do you need assistance in understanding how to effectively serve diverse groups in your community?
CPI provides no-cost and low-cost trainings and technical assistance (TTA) throughout the state of California. We connect county agencies, community-based organizations, service providers, and other organizations with expert SUD Pv consultants.
- Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) Competencies - Assessment, Capacity Building, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation: The SPF is a planning process that Pv professionals use to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate SUD Pv services. The SPF Competencies can be taken individually or as a whole series, with the steps building on each other.
- Grant Writing: We utilize a participatory team approach to learn about different types of proposals. Participants learn how to network effectively and collaborate with public and private funders. This workshop is intended for beginning and intermediate level grant writers.
- Engaging Youth and Families: This workshop highlights applied strategies for increasing youth and parent outreach, recruitment, and retention. Participants learn about proactive and reactive recruitment strategies, and social marketing techniques. We discuss culturally appropriate techniques for enhancing participation.
Our TTA can help accelerate your efforts to advance change and impact the health of your community. Contact our team today.
You might have noticed a change to our training offerings through CPI. All CPI trainings are now part of the Professional Competency series, including those that were formally called "Prevention Extension" trainings. This change is intended to better organize these trainings in supporting your SUD prevention professional development and capacity building. A small subset of the Professional Competency series, the SPF Competencies, focus on the five steps of the SPF.

New Prevention Tactic: The Role of Prevention in a Trauma-Informed Approach to Wellness
Trauma is an important concept for the prevention field because it is a risk factor for SUDs and other behavioral health challenges. A strong understanding of trauma can enhance both direct and indirect Pv services.
CPI is excited to announce the release of a new Prevention Tactic on trauma-informed SUD Pv services. This Prevention Tactic describes the impact of trauma on individuals and communities; defines the key components of a trauma-informed approach, and how it differs from current Pv efforts; and provides examples from cities that are using a trauma-informed approach to whole community wellness.
Topics include:
- Three E's of trauma
- Types and causes of trauma, including collective trauma, racial trauma, and generational trauma
- Influence of trauma on the brain and development
- Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and SUD
- Key principles and strategies for a trauma-informed approach
- Collective actions to address trauma
