Here are a couple of recent comments we received from prevention leaders across the US regarding their experiences using Prevention Plus Wellness (PPW) programs.
“We implemented SPORT with teens at our family shelter and with a teen in the Alternatives for Youth Program, and the impact has been positive. The teen in Alternatives for Youth was motivated after completing SPORT and he has stayed sober for a month, tried out for a soccer team, and was accepted onto a Long Island team. SPORT has also helped teens at the shelter become more aware of the dangers of substance use and the importance of nutrition. The content is relatable and motivating for them..and I appreciate your guidance in getting it implemented.” John P., Coordinator of REAP, Family Service League, NY.
“We are having a great experience with the PPW program. We've had a lot of interest in the communities we serve. Alcona county just reached out asking if we can implement this program in their middle school population. We currently offer these services on an individual basis, but we also introduce the material during homeroom time within the schools. We have about 15 individual contracts, and 6 homeroom sessions.” Carley D., BHA, MSOL, School Based Program Manager, Alcona Citizens for Health, Inc., MI.
“Things are running smoothly here. Our providers really like the SPORT curriculum and have found it to be very user friendly. I feel we are in a good place with the evaluation piece (too).” Shelly L., LCSW, Director of Prevention Services, Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families, DE.
“I personally love SPORT and how it addresses “whole health.”” Traci P., Executive Director, Substance Abuse Prevention Team of Essex County, Inc., NY.
“A coalition here in MN is assisting our Dept of Education in identifying model school-based cannabis prevention programs. We want to include your Marijuana Prevention Plus Wellness program in the directory…we're glad you have a marijuana-focused program.” Ken W., PhD, Senior Scientist, Oregon Research Institute (MN location), MN.
