How Our Programs Work

Cost-Effective & Easy to Implement

We understand that prevention and health providers are looking for the most effective way to spend their funds. Prevention Plus Wellness programs have a high cost-benefit ratio, plus they are easy to implement by just reading the program script. 

Because our programs are just a single session and address multiple mental and physical health risk behaviors, a single program can reach large numbers of youth and have many health outcomes. The SPORT PPW program, for example, has cost benefits of almost $300 per participant: Washington State Institute for Public Policy.

Youth and adults are at risk not only of substance use and misuse, but physical inactivity, poor eating, lack of sleep and stress requiring a holistic approach.

#2: Wellness fits with and completes substance use prevention.

Wellness is prevention oriented and is a key component of achieving and maintaining mental and physical wellbeing.

#3: Wellness improves mental health.

Research shows that wellness-promoting behaviors protect against mental illness and promote mental health.

#4: Wellness empowers one to choose positive identities and behaviors.

Wellness emphasizes having positive goals, learning self-regulation skills, and choosing a healthy identity and habits.

#5: Wellness is prevention’s ultimate goal.

Wellness is not just about reducing health risks, but promoting good physical and mental health and quality of life.

#6: Wellness promotion protects against substance use/misuse.

Wellness acknowledges the mind and body are interconnected and that healthy behaviors can reduce risky substance use.
