About the Southwest CAPT
CSAP’s Southwest CAPT supports the application of evidence-based substance abuse prevention programs, practices and policies at the regional, state and local levels, encouraging cooperation and collaboration between and within each level.
Five important premises guide our work:
-
Skilled, knowledgeable local people best solve local problems
-
Collaboration on a federal, state and local level promotes the unified advancement of prevention
-
The positive impact of prevention is more likely when State systems and community-based practitioners are able to identify, adaptively apply and evaluate evidence-based prevention approaches
-
Sound, comprehensive and continual evaluation at multiple levels promotes the effectiveness of prevention, providing reliable data for informal decisions
-
People support what they help create
CSAP’s Southwest CAPT is housed at the Southwest Prevention Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating healthy, safe communities through the power of prevention.
