Building Effective Coalitions

SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework

The Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) was created by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to assist coalitions in developing the infrastructure needed for community-based, public health approaches leading to effective and sustainable reductions in alcohol, tobacco and other drug use and abuse.

The National Coalition Institute's training opportunities help coalitions develop programs using the elements of the SPF. Click on the individual sections of the SPF below to learn more about the Institute and its resources.
