BIPOC SAPST

Black, Indigenous, People of Color
​Substance Abuse Prevention Skills Training 
​

The Black, Indigenous, People of Color Substance Abuse Prevention Skills Training (BIPOC SAPST) is a key opportunity to build the workforce capacity and is an innovative training session because of the training format, schedule, and mentorship component.

The goal of the BIPOC SAPST is to develop the basic knowledge and skills needed by BIPOC substance misuse prevention practitioners to plan, implement, and evaluate effective, data-driven programs and practices that reduce behavioral health disparities and improve wellness.

The BIPOC SAPST training series incorporates new content related to the BIPOC populations and equity issues with a concentrated theme of health disparities, health equity, and cultural aspects. The training series is designed for entry level BIPOC prevention practitioners to build and sustain their capacity to deliver comprehensive and culturally diverse community level services in state, tribal, jurisdictional, and organizational settings.
 
The three-month training series includes training sessions, learning communities, a mentor match, and a project. It will virtually kickoff on June 7th. The training sessions and learning communities will alternate every other week after the kick-off. The training sessions will be 4 hours long and the learning communities will be 90 minutes long.

In the learning community spaces, BIPOC SAPST participants will be coming together to commit to improving their practice through professional development and networking. Participants will be sharing best practices, applying the skills and knowledge they are learning, and continue to learn from each other. Participants will also be matched with a mentor in the first month. 

There is no cost to participants for this training. ​
