Goals

As a community initiative, we are working to reduce access to alcohol, as well as reduce binge drinking among 9-20 year olds: The strategies employed are:

  1. Reduction of Social Availability
  2. Reduction of Retail Availability
  3. Increase in Positive Social and Community Norms

We are also working to reduce the use and change the perception of use of marijuana among 9-17 year olds. The strategies employed are:

  1. Increase in Positive Social Norms
  2. Implementation of Too Good for Drugs

History

The Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), on which ASAPP is based, has become one of SAMSHA’s most promoted initiatives, even finding its way beyond the walls of SAMSHA into other federal agencies. In the fall of 2010, the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities made a landmark decision to incorporate SAMSHA’s Strategic Prevention Framework into the prevention block grant. Initially established as a tobacco prevention initiative, ASAPP refocused efforts to alcohol prevention in 2011. In 2017, DBHDD extended prevention efforts to include other substances.

 

Accomplishments

The Meriwether County Prevention Specialist received her Certified Prevention Specialist Credentialing from the Prevention Credentialing Consortium of Georgia in 2017.

Accreditation

As an initiative of Twin Cedars, ASAPP is a member of Council on Accreditation.
