Protective Factor In-Person Training

The Prevention Team is excited to offer various sessions around the state of the Protective Factor Framework training for Local Education Agencies (LEAs) during the 2025–2026 school year. This is a one-day, six-hour training that builds on the foundation introduced during the April 2025 Prevention Workshops.  It will provide a deeper dive into the Protective Factors Framework—a research-based, evidence-informed approach proven to strengthen child and family well-being and reduce the risk of unhealthy behaviors in students.

Trainings will be held at multiple locations across the state, and participants will earn 5.5 License Renewal Hours upon completion.
