Assistance

GA-SPF-SIG Coordinator - Pam Johnson

3

Lack of Coordinated State
Level Technical Assistance

!  In response to the SPF SIG RFA we cited
this area as a challenge for the State of
Georgia for several reasons:
–  Size/Area of the State of Georgia
–  Density of Metro populations
–  Number of prevention funded service providers
needing technical assistance

4

Extending State Capacity

!  Community Initiative Task Force

(CITF)= a pool of consultants with
expertise in each area of the SPF
process
!  Contract with Georgia State
University/School of Social Work

5

Prevention Provider’s
level of Knowledge

!  Prevention workforce lack of baseline
knowledge of core prevention strategies
and best practices
!  Lack of sharing of knowledge - creating
disproportionate number of services in
more rural counties

6

Need for more “specialized” TA

!  Every County-Community-Provider is
different
!  Varying skill levels in prevention core
competencies
!  Lack of Culturally Competent Trainers/
Coaches

Complexity

!  SAMSHA's expansion of the SPF and the launch of

the eight strategic initiatives have laid a very clear
direction for change.
!  Although this shift has opened the door for exciting
new advances in community health and wellness it
has also revealed many gaps in understanding, skills
and adoption by those charged with implementing
programs.

Big Question

  How do we prepare the nine SPF-SIG
communities to learn, build skills and facilitate
adoption of the SPF framework as well as the
implementation of their Strategies?
