Screening, Brief Intervention, & Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) in Schools is a self-paced, online training in which school-based providers learn how to screen for substance use, reinforce students’ healthy lifestyle choices, utilize the steps of the brief intervention, and facilitate referrals to appropriate treatment. SBIRT is brief, highly accepted among school staff, and benefits students at all levels of substance use (including abstinence). In addition to the SBIRT model, this course offers supplemental training including Motivational Interviewing: What School-Based Providers Need to Know, Youth Use of Electronic Smoking Devices and other Tobacco Products, and SBIRT Implementation in School-Based Wellness Centers. Video demonstrations and optional simulation are also included. 

SBIRT Provider Training is a live training in which participants learn about SBIRT as a public health approach to supporting adolescents. Using SBIRT as a systems-change initiative, providers learn how to screen for substance use, reinforce healthy lifestyle choices, utilize the steps of the brief intervention, and facilitate referrals to appropriate treatment. SBIRT is evidence-based, brief, highly accepted among providers, and benefits individuals at all levels of substance use (including abstinence). SBIRT with Adolescents teaches participants how to apply SBIRT in various general adolescent-serving roles. 

Motivational Enhancement Therapy/Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 5 (MET/CBT5) is an evidence-based intervention developed to help behavioral health providers conduct a brief five-session treatment intervention for adolescents engaged in cannabis misuse.

MET/CBT5 combines two sessions of motivational enhancement therapy provided individually and three sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy provided in a group format.

• MET sessions focus on factors that motivate clients to change.

• CBT sessions help clients learn skills to cope with problems and meet their needs in ways that do not involve turning to marijuana or alcohol.

The Strengthening Families Program (SFP) is a group-based parenting and youth skills program that aims to promote good parenting skills and positive family relationships, reduce child and adolescent aggression and hostility, and prevent adolescent initiation of substance use. The program can be offered by any youth-serving organization that has the ability to work directly with parents and youth. The Strengthening Families Program is suitable for all youth ages 7-17 years as well as for youth who may be at higher risk of developing a substance misuse disorder (e.g., those already receiving services for substance misuse). 

While there is some flexibility in how the program gets delivered to families, the program works best when 5-6 families participate together and when each weekly session involves parents-only, teens-only, and whole family together segments. SFP is provided to families by staff members of participating organizations (professionals or skilled paraprofessionals) who receive three days of training (16 hours total) as Family Coaches and ongoing implementation support.
