November 6, 2009
Spectacular Event Center, Bangor, ME
Breakout Session PM 2 - 2:45-3:45
Track 1: Prevention in the Community
Session Title: 1D - The Power of Prevention at the Worksite
Overview:
Research has shown that 75% of illicit drug users are employed and an estimated 15% of the American workforce has consumed alcohol either before or during work, or has arrived at work hung-over. This program will examine how nine individual substance abuse prevention strategies can be integrated into a comprehensive worksite prevention framework and how this framework might be applied at worksites of varying sizes. Participants will be introduced to each strategy and will be shown where to locate appropriate resources for that strategy.
