Originally funded as part of the Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) to provide coaching to the funded coalitions to implement the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) to address underage drinking or impaired driving in the selected counties. During the five years of the grant, the coaches also began to introduce the SPF to the general prevention field throughout the state by inviting prevention professionals to trainings
Funded through the SAPT BG Primary Prevention Set-Aside to assist the counties with learning and implementing the SPF in all counties throughout the state
Funded through the SAPT BG Primary Prevention Set-Aside and Partnership for Success (PFS) 2016-present. Continue to provide coaching on the utilization of SPF throughout the state

4. What is Coaching?
Coaching is a goal oriented, generative solutions focused process in which a client (agency) is guided to develop a vision, delineate a range of goals and options to realize this vision, develop and implement action plans to achieve those goals, identifying roadblocks and constructing possible solutions to these throughout the change process (Moore & Tschannen--‐‑Moran, 2010; Whitworth, et al., 2007; Stober & Grant, 2006)
Coaching involves two critical components:
1) reflection, an opportunity to think about and clarify visions, values, goals and hurdles; and
2) action, a commitment to take self defined steps to move towards goals

5. What is Coaching?
Coaches collaborate with DAODAS to support the goals and mission of DAODAS
The mission of DAODAS is to ensure the availability and quality of a continuum of substance use services, thereby improving the health status, safety, and quality of life of individuals, families, and communities across South Carolina.
Prevention Team Mission Statement: Provide support to prevent substance use and misuse
Coaches and agencies also work as a team to make smart decisions that support the agencies’ vision, goals, needs and values
Coaches are collaborative and co-creative partners with agencies, using evocative approaches more than didactic approaches
What does Coaching do?
Coaching supports developing and sustaining behavior changes related to uptake and the successful application of new information by addressing several simultaneous problems (Fixsen, et al., 2005; Stober & Grant 2006; Whitworth et al., 2007; Moore &Tschannen--‐‑Moran, 2010).
