Prevention Program Planning May 31 and June 1, 2022

We had such an incredible response for the Prevention Program Planning course offered on May 17 and 18, that SFNFCI decided to offer the Prevention Program Planning a second time on May 31-June 1. This course was for those who were not able to get into the course offered on May 17-18.

On May 31-June 1, 2022, the second Prevention Program Planning course was offered. This is 12-hour prevention core training course for prevention workers. The course was delivered in-person at the Saskatoon Travelodge and 23 participants fully completed the training.

The training was facilitated once again by Charlotte Ross. Charlotte does an excellent job in keeping the group engaged with the material and in delivering the information and facilitating group discussions. Elder/Knowledge Keeper Ernestine Starr also joined us throughout the sessions to provide elder services.

This two-day course has been designed to give learners suggestions of guidelines to use when developing programming. It can help give agencies a broad understanding of practical planning methods in preparing and implementing a plan, creating schedules, and can also provide ideas on techniques for measuring the success of your plan.

Upon completion of this course,

1. Participants can identify the key elements in the program planning process by participating in several hands-on activities throughout the program planning process.

2. Participants will plan a draft program including: determining the needs, determining the rationale, goals, and objectives of the program, identifying partners, developing a budget, preparing a proposal outline, scheduling the program and marketing the program.

3. Participants will develop a draft program including: determining the program details and identifying measures of success.

4. Participants will develop a draft implementation and evaluation plan for a program including: assessing the risks; identifying evaluation criteria and strategies and using evaluation information.
