SAMHSA has had a long-standing partnership with CADCA since the inception of the National Leadership Forum. In 2004, SAMHSA officially partnered with CADCA to host Community Prevention Day, convened the day before the start of the National Leadership Forum. This annual gathering provides a venue for participants to receive training and technical assistance specific to substance abuse prevention, as well as to network with other grantees and partners.

This year’s SAMHSA Prevention Day will be held on February 6.  Attendees will have the opportunity to share experiences and information and take part in workshops to develop strategic organizational skills. The all-day event is open to the public and free, but REGISTRATION  is required. Check out the SAMHSA Prevention Day Agenda for more information on the agenda and specific workshops.

In addition to the SAMHSA Prevention Day workshops, SAMHSA is hosting sessions during CADCA’s National Leadership Forum. For a complete listing of the sessions see the Leadership Forum Agenda.
