StrategyDescription Prevention /Intervention Services This program provides funds to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), which in turn, awards funds to successful local grant applicants for the purpose of placing intervention specialists in schools. Intervention specialists assist students in kindergarten through twelfth grade to overcome problems of substance abuse and strive to prevent the abuse of, and addiction, to alcohol and other drugs, including nicotine. Intervention specialists provide prevention and early intervention services to students and their families, assist in referrals to treatment providers, and support the transition back to school for students who have received treatment for drug and alcohol abuse. The ultimate goal of the program is to provide prevention and intervention services in schools to enhance the classroom environment for students and teachers and better enable students to realize their academic and personal potentials.

Specifically, decreasing the social and health consequences of substance abuse by limiting access to substances and changing social norms that are accepting and permissive of substance abuse. They can change public laws, policies and practices to create environments that decrease the probability of substance abuse.
