Our Services

Titled, “The CSU PRC’s Framework for Training and Technical Assistance” by the Prevention Research Center at Colorado State University. This animation of a mountain range shows three levels from the bottom up. Level 1 is called, “Prevention e-courses and online tools.” Level 2 is called, “Group professional development and implementation support.” Level 3 is called, “One-on-one tailored training and support.”

The PRC supports community agencies, K-12 schools/districts, and government entities in selecting, implementing, adapting, evaluating, and sustaining prevention programs in real-world settings. All services are grounded in the latest prevention science research for bridging the gap between community practice, academia, and policy. This page describes what our services and trainings include. Fees for services vary widely depending on the scope of the project.

Multi-Level Approach

The PRC supports local communities with implementing preventive interventions. Our multi-level approach provides training and technical assistance services driven by local needs. Examples of these services are:

Level 1: Prevention e-Courses and Online Tools

The PRC creates research-to-practice tools and professional development modules that are offered at no cost and with open-access to anyone. These tools are created using a blend of current research, years of experience from several professionals in the field, and feedback from diverse partners. Topics include community needs assessments, implementation fidelity, program adaptation, program evaluation, and sustainability.

Level 2: Group Professional Development and Implementation Support

Based on local community strengths and needs, the PRC can create and deliver training or professional development for groups. Groups at this level could include broad systems or regions, such as all staff from a single organization, select staff across several agencies with similar goals, or regional school BOCES. Level 2 support can range anywhere from a short, interactive lecture to a hands-on workshop. These offerings can be customized to accommodate schedules and group sizes (e.g., one hour to two days, in person or online, small groups or large groups). Costs for this service will vary depending on the scope. Please contact us at prevention@colostate.edu for more information.

Level 3: One-on-One Tailored Training and Support

The PRC provides one-on-one prevention support for teams seeking a more tailored and intensive prevention support experience. Level 3 support is typically a longer-term, collaborative, community-engaged partnership where the PRC partners with communities to work through the Cycle of Program Implementation presented below. Costs for this service will vary depending on the scope. Please contact us at prevention@colostate.edu for more information.
