People wanting to support the well-being of youth and families in their communities can now take free online courses through Penn State’s Prevention Learning Portal (PLP). The portal offers instruction and resources on how to choose, implement and sustain programs and practices that promote healthy communities.
Our Evidence-based Prevention and Intervention Support (EPIS) initiative is leading this groundbreaking effort, with support of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol, the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the Substance Use and Mental Health Services Administration and the Penn State College of Health and Human Development. EPIS is also partnering with Colorado State University to produce content for the PLP.
