The Substance Abuse Prevention Skills Training (SAPST) is a foundational course of study in substance abuse prevention. The SAPST was developed by SAMHSA's Center for Application of Prevention Technology (CAPT) and is grounded in current research and SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework. It provides knowledge and skills to implement effective, data-driven prevention programs, practices, and policies that reduce behavioral health disparities and improve wellness. Individuals working for an OASAS funding prevention provider will be prioritized and limited to 30 participants.
