If you?re like me when you go to the theater to see a movie, you want to get there in time to see the trailers (or as we used to call them, the coming attractions). Depending on the content, they provide an opportunity to get you excited about what?s on the horizon. As?www.campusdrugprevention.gov?gets ready to celebrate its sixth ?birthday? (it launched in July 2017), now is the perfect time to tease you with some of DEA?s coming attractions to support professionals working to prevent drug use and misuse among college students.
On the immediate horizon, DEA is pleased to have collaborated with Dr. David Anderson, Professor Emeritus from George Mason University, to produce a new resource that complements a publication he produced last fall, titled the?Guide to the Eight Professional Competencies for Higher Education Substance Misuse Prevention.?That resource is designed to promote enhanced professional skills, and ultimately have greater impact, with college students? decisions surrounding drugs and alcohol. Working in partnership with David, I am pleased to announce that guide formed the basis for a new eight-part webinar series produced by DEA, highlighting each of the individual competencies. These webinars roll out on?www.campusdrugprevention.gov?on a weekly basis starting on July 12 through the end of August, just in time for the start of the new academic year.
"DEA welcomes your input on?www.campusdrugprevention.gov, so if there is content or features you would like us to consider including on it, submit your comments to?[email protected]."
