What people are saying about this ToT experience...

Build a prevention workforce that speaks the same evidence-based language—and can prove results.

SAMHSA’s Prevention Core Competencies (PCC) equip prevention leaders to plan, implement, and evaluate strategies that work. PCC is a six-module, research-based curriculum that strengthens prevention practice from planning through evaluation:

Prevention science foundations

What the research says works in prevention.

Community engagement & readiness

Rallying people and resources for action.

Needs & resource assessment

Spotting real gaps and strengths in your community.

Selecting evidence-based strategies

Moving beyond guesswork to proven interventions.

Implementation & monitoring

Turning plans into measurable outcomes and impact.

Ethics & continuous improvement

Doing the right work, the right way, and growing from feedback.

 

These modules ensure participants gain a solid grounding in prevention theory and practical skills. Now, the next step is to spread this knowledge farther by empowering local trainers through a Training-of-Trainers (ToT) program.

We Need Prevention Leaders Ready to Deliver This Research-Based Curriculum

When you bring in Nicole Augustine and Rikki Barton to run a PCC Training-of-Trainers (ToT), you’re not just sending people to a class — you’re building in-state capacity:

  • A cohort of local trainers who can deliver the PCC course again and again, widening access and reducing future travel costs.

  • Common language & standards across all the prevention professionals you supervise, making collaboration smoother and more effective.

  • Evidence-driven practice embedded in your workforce – easier to track, evaluate, and fund, because outcomes are both measurable and impactful.

“Our new trainers left feeling empowered and well-equipped — and we now have a sustainable way to onboard staff with prevention science.”

Unlock Potential Revenue for Your Organization

Invest $3,500 to train 2 people

With an initial investment of about $3,500 to train 2 people in the PCC ToT, you can start a flow of unrestricted dollars for your organization. Those newly trained instructors can host local trainings for a fee, creating a recurring income source.

Example ROI

Hosting just one training of 35 attendees at $100 per person would recoup your entire ToT investment. Every additional training after that brings in net revenue, helping sustain your prevention initiatives long-term.
