Prevention Workers Programs
Prevention workers are the professional arm of anti-drug efforts in the field: planners, implementers, trainers, researchers, and evaluators. This axis combines qualification and continuous development programs for all workers in prevention centers, departments, and organizations, enabling them to build, implement, and measure evidence-based prevention programs.
Why qualifying workers is a priority?
Prevention does not succeed with good intentions alone. Every global study confirms that the quality of prevention workers determines the quality of impact. This axis builds core skills: strategic planning, scientific methodology, campaign design, early intervention, and evaluation — following UNODC, SAMHSA standards, and Afaq accredited guides.
