Exploring Prevention Through a Social-Ecological Lens: Session 1 - Protection at the Individual Level
What if preventing substance misuse wasn’t just about individual choices—but about the environments we shape and are shaped by, the relationships we nurture and that nurture us, and the systems we build and are part of?
This series explores substance use prevention through the lens of the Social-Ecological Model (SEM), a powerful framework that recognizes how individual, interpersonal, community, and societal factors all interconnect to influence health outcomes.
In this first session, we will dive into what protection means on the individual level, moving beyond abstract theory to practical tools and evidence-based practices to serve as a guiding force. Whether you’re a prevention specialist, educator, policymaker, or community advocate, this event and the series will equip you with a broadened perspective and concrete approaches to create community-level changes.
