Presentation Description: One of the greatest challenges for Prevention Professionals is understanding human motivation. How do we attempt to influence behavior and create the conditions for change? If we want to have an impact on the way people think, feel and act with regard to alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, we must look beyond only our local conditions and instincts. This webinar will offer a basic overview of Prevention Theory. Included topics: “Why Should WE Care About Theories?” and “What Theories Can Be Used In Substance Abuse Prevention Strategies?”
