The idea behind SPF is to use the find­ings from pub­lic health research along with evidence-based pre­ven­tion pro­grams to pro­mote resilience and decrease risk fac­tors in indi­vid­u­als, fam­i­lies and com­mu­ni­ties. Albert is a Cer­ti­fied Pre­ven­tion Spe­cial­ist with exten­sive expe­ri­ence in the SPF process. He will present a 2 hour work­shop on using this process as a way to approach the ongo­ing issues of opi­ate use in our community.
