Description
68% percent of youth, ages 13-18, surveyed in a national assessment identified providers as the most trusted messengers for sensitive conversations on substance use prevention – highlighting a provider’s critical role in preventing substance use. Yet engaging young people in conversations related to health behaviors, especially substance use, can be challenging even for trained professionals. The National Council led a novel initiative during COVID-19 to prepare and empower youth-serving providers with the tools necessary to engage youth in substance use prevention conversations, culminating in the creation of an evidence-based, messaging guide.

Learning Objectives
- The participants will be able to describe three important roles that youth-serving providers play in substance use prevention education during COVID-19, and how risk and protective factors inform effective prevention conversations.
- The participants will be able to identify three key themes and topics critical to both general and substance-specific youth prevention messaging, including non-stigmatizing language.
- The participants will be able to utilize two additional skills to build trust and rapport with the youth they serve and strategies for framing prevention conversations in a way that resonates and motivates youth to abstain from alcohol and other drugs.
