Enhanced Onsite Training
CSAP's Southwest CAPT often enhances onsite training delivery with electronic materials and resources. Some workshops and training courses are best conducted by including online components, both pre and post, to support optimal use of the often limited amount of time available for face-to-face training.

Satellite Broadcasts & Webcasts
Southwest CAPT offers and promotes satellite broadcasts for diffusion across the southwest region. The National CAPT system as well as many other prevention agencies and organizations including the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) contribute to saturating the nation with prevention programming via satellite. Broadcasts appear on regional and national CAPT calendars.
While a live satellite broacast is time sensitive, most prevention broadcasts are streamed and available on your desktop computer through SAMHSA's National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information (NCADI) --anytime.
Recent Broadcasts include:
- Drugs in the Workplace
- Making Your Model Program Culturally Appropriate
- Drug Testing in Schools
- Recognizing and Identifying Drugs
- Getting Media Attention for Prevention Efforts
- Too Smart to Start (Model Program)
- Understanding SAMHSA's Grant Application Process
Most computers sold in recent years come with the free media player installed. If you do not have the player on your computer, you can download it free.
