Overview

The Substance Misuse Prevention Certificate will provide you with the educational background needed to work in the substance abuse field.  The coursework will prepare you to work as a professional in the field of prevention. Potential jobs include student assistance professionals (SAPs) within school districts, community coalition workers, grants writer/coordinators, family services specialists, mental health service workers, youth counselors and youth diversion workers.

After acquiring field experience, you would be prepared to become a Certified Prevention Specialist (CPS) through the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC) as endorsed by the State of New Hampshire.
