SUMMARY:Joy in Prevention Part 2 — From Ideas to Action: An Interactive Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive workshop\, participants will redesign prevention strategies and explore ways to make programming more engaging and connected to the communities they serve. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nApply practical strategies to make prevention activities more interactive\, engaging\, and strengths-based.\nRedesign prevention activities using concepts rooted in social connection\, participation\, storytelling\, and behavioral science.\nExchange and develop creative prevention ideas through peer-sharing\, breakout discussions\, and collaborative activities\n\nLearn more and register here.

SUMMARY:Selecting and Implementing Evidence Based Practices in Prevention Programs
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual RIPRC training led by Drew Reynolds\, PhD\, MSW\, MEd (www.commongooddata.com/podcast). \nThis training introduces prevention providers to the role of evidence-based practices in strengthening program effectiveness and improving outcomes for communities. Participants will gain a clear understanding of what constitutes an evidence-based practice\, how evidence is generated and evaluated\, and why using research-supported approaches is increasingly expected in prevention work. \nThe session will walk through practical tools for identifying and assessing evidence-based programs\, including a guided exploration of national evidence registries such as Blueprints for Healthy Youth Development. Participants will learn how to interpret evidence ratings\, review program requirements\, and determine whether a program aligns with the needs\, resources\, and goals of their communities. \nThe training will also emphasize the role of local data and evaluation in selecting and implementing prevention strategies. Participants will explore how community data\, needs assessments\, and program outcomes can inform program selection and guide continuous improvement. The session will highlight practical ways to use data to assess whether a chosen program is achieving intended outcomes and how evaluation findings can support program refinement\, funding justification\, and long-term sustainability. \nIn addition to identifying appropriate programs\, the training will address common implementation and evaluation challenges. Discussion will focus on balancing fidelity and adaptation\, ensuring cultural and community relevance\, building evaluation capacity\, and navigating constraints related to staffing\, funding\, and data collection resources. Participants will leave with a clearer process for selecting\, implementing\, and evaluating prevention approaches that fit their local context. \nLearning Objectives: \nBy the end of the training\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain the concept of evidence-based practices and describe their role in prevention programming.\nIdentify and navigate major evidence registries\, including Blueprints for Healthy Youth Development\, to locate prevention programs supported by research.\nAssess whether an evidence-based program aligns with the needs\, goals\, and characteristics of their target population and community context.\nDescribe how data and evaluation can support program selection\, implementation monitoring\, and outcome assessment.\nRecognize common challenges in implementing and evaluating evidence-based practices and identify strategies to address issues related to program fit\, adaptation\, and evaluation capacity.\n\nPlease reach out to riprc@jsi.org to learn more about event registration.
