Empowerment with Prevention: Conference Highlights & Resources
Empowerment with Prevention was the central theme of our recent day-long conference, bringing together Student Assistance Professionals (SAPs), school personnel, prevention consultants, and prevention partners for a dynamic and collaborative event.
This conference focused on how proactive, community-centered strategies can empower individuals and groups to reduce risk, strengthen resilience, and promote overall well-being.
