What is BPR?
A Community Approach to Systems Change
Historically, prevention and recovery programs in communities have operated in siloes. This approach has failed to address the root causes of addiction. To resolve this problem, we need innovation. Bridging Prevention and Recovery (BPR): A Community Approach to Systems Change is more than just a training because certified trainers work hand-in-hand with communities using a step-by-step model to identify long-term solutions that are person-centered and work together through their implementation to address barriers.

What is the Format?
Offered in-person and virtually, a certified trainer guides community leaders through an action-oriented model to systemically integrate prevention and recovery systems to strengthen programs and improve outcomes. BPR is a 3 ½ day training program that culminates with 6 technical assistance sessions tailored to each community’s unique set of needs to support implementation and sustainability of joint prevention and recovery community projects.
If you are a state or community-based leader and interested in learning more about the BPR program, please contact us at community@safeproject.us to get connected to an upcoming training near you.
“You bridged the conversation between folks who often work on different ends of the spectrum. Prevention and recovery are the best allies for one another. That was something that drove through in all of this process.“
