  • Connect invited to the Native American Center on Excellence/NREPP conference
    , February 13, 2012

    To enhance Connect’s work with American Indians and Alaska Natives, we applied and were accepted to attend the April conference hosted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP) and the Native American Center for Excellence (NACE). 

     Connect’s interest in the conference is twofold: 1) to learn what kind of additional changes would need to be made for optimum value for tribal communities; and 2) to understand the requirements and process for submitting Connect for NREPP review.

  • Connect Selected for SAMHSA’s Service to Science Initiative
    , February 13, 2012

    SAMHSA selected Connect to participate in a national initiative that offers technical assistance to innovative programs interested in improving their capacity to evaluate the effectiveness of their program.  Specifically, this program will help to build a bridge between substance abuse prevention and suicide prevention.

    Connect will receive consultation in two areas: (1) strategic targeting of audiences for training to maximize contact with populations at risk for substance abuse; and (2) ensuring that Connect is measuring outcomes relevant to substance abuse risk and of interest to substance abuse prevention professionals.  Ken Norton, NAMI-NH’s Executive Director comments, “ We hope that improving the alignment of target risk factors and measurement strategies with our collegues in substance abuse prevention will maximize collaboration between two well-organized, but inefficiently ‘siloed’ communities of professionals.”
