Prevention Leaders Masterclass
Stop managing. Start leading.
A six-month leadership program for prevention professionals. Twelve live sessions, a small cohort, and two facilitators who've done the work.
The application takes about five minutes. No obligation.
Most prevention leaders were never taught to lead.
Prevention work is tough. Many leaders get stuck managing: assigning tasks, putting out fires, and pushing the work forward alone. The result?
It doesn't have to be this way.
“I came into PLM tired and I'm leaving empowered.”
Jessica Howard, Missouri Advanced Prevention Specialist, Director of Substance Use Prevention Services, FCC Behavioral Health
Three segments. One complete way to lead.
Each segment builds on the last.
Understand Yourself.
Before you can lead others, you need clarity on who you are. Through assessments, reflection, and coaching you'll uncover your strengths and blind spots and learn to show up authentically.
When you know yourself, you lead with confidence instead of second-guessing.
Understand Others.
Leadership isn't telling people what to do. It's inspiring them to move with you. You'll build trust, listen deeply, and use facilitation and coaching techniques to engage your team and community.
When you understand others, you create buy-in instead of pushback.
Become a Change Maker.
This is where it comes together. You'll apply practical tools and facilitation methods to lead real change in your coalition, organization, or community.
When you lead change effectively, prevention becomes stronger together.
This is for you if you've ever thought...
Built for prevention professionals at every level, from brand-new coordinators to seasoned state leaders. No prior leadership training needed.
What you'll walk away with
- A clear understanding of your leadership identity and how to use it
- The ability to facilitate conversations that build trust, collaboration, and buy-in
- A toolbox of strategies and templates you can use immediately
- A network of peers walking the same path
- Confidence leading your team and community through change
What leaders carry out of the room
“I came into PLM tired and I'm leaving empowered.”
“I came in with anxiety and unsureness, and I'm leaving with confidence and knowing that I am a leader with skills.”
“I came insecure... and I'm leaving with motivation and I'm leaving with tools to make a change.”
“I came in skeptical... thought it was going to be like every other training... [but I'm leaving with] appreciation, with tools, and I feel stronger.”
“Came in thinking that I was alone in my struggles in prevention and leaving with the fact that I'm not and feeling a whole lot better.”
