Welcome
The Prevention Specialist Certification Board of Washington (PSCBW) website is for individuals who are interested in obtaining and maintaining their Certified Prevention Professional (CPP) credential. We hope the information will be helpful to CPPs and others in the substance abuse and violence prevention fields. Please click here to read the letter from the PSCBW President, Gunthild Sondhi.
PSCBW holds Substance Abuse Prevention Specialist Trainings
The PSCBW held two Substance Abuse Prevention Specialist Trainings (SAPST) in 2012 (one on the Westside and another on the Eastside).
In addition, a SAPST Training-of-Trainers (for those who have completed the SAPST and want to do more local training) was delivered Tuesday, May 1, 2012 - Friday, May 4, 2012 in Des Moines WA.
Prevention At Work
New Entry-level Credential
The PSCBW is now offering an Associate Prevention Professional (APP) credential that is geared more toward entry-level prevention professionals. The APP application fee is only $50.
Click here to learn more about the APP as a stepping stone to get your CPP credential.
We are excited to move forward with a multi-tiered prevention certification system.
Currently, we offer the APP and CPP, and look forward to adding other relevant credentials to the prevention field.
