UM-TAC: Strengthening Montana's Prevention Workforce
Empowering Montana's prevention specialists and supervisors with evidence-based training and technical support to reduce substance misuse across all age groups, guided by SAMHSA's national strategic framework.
What is Prevention?
"Someone keeps rescuing people from a river, but eventually wonders—why are so many falling in? By going upstream to prevent people from entering the dangerous current, fewer need rescuing downstream. That’s the power of prevention."
Adopted from New England Prevention Specialist Onboarding and Orientation Roadmap
