Overview and Introduction

Welcome to the registration page for the SPF Application for Prevention Success Training (SAPST). This is an in-person training course and will take place on September 9-11, 2025, 8:30 AM - 5 PM, and September 12, 2025, 8:30 AM - 1 PM. The training will be held in Olympia and you will be sent the training location as well as lodging options when your registration for the training is confirmed.

Completion of the training will earn you 28 Continuing Education Hours, 23 for the in-person training and 5 for the required online pre-SAPST training. The hours are recognized by the Prevention Specialist Certification Board of Washington (PSCBW) for the purpose of becoming a Certified Prevention Professional (CPP) or Associate Prevention Professional (APP).

The SAPST training is sponsored by the Division for Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR). The trainers are Scott Waller and Jennifer Dorsett, two longtime prevention professionals and veteran SAPST facilitators.

SAPST is a national training designed for community-based prevention and public health providers, coalition coordinators, coalition members, and organizations providing prevention and public health services.

There is no cost for participating in either the online pre-training or the in-person SAPST training. However, each participant is responsible for their own travel costs, including lodging, meals, mileage, etc.

Please make sure to coordinate with your contract manager and supervisor to make sure that spending funds on these workshops is acceptable.

Once you have registered, you will be sent a confirmation email that has a link to the online pre-training. Information regarding the specific training location and lodging options will be sent in a follow-up email. A separate registration is required for each individual participant.
