The Standards aim to support these workers by providing them with:
• a benchmark of optimal performance for school teams;
• support and guidance to pursue continuous improvements; and
• practical resources and examples to support change.

These are standards of excellence that strive towards optimal substance abuse prevention programs in schools. This is a destination that may seem difficult to reach, but it is attainable by building upon a school’s existing strengths and current prevention programming. To begin this journey, the Standards serve as a roadmap to help schools reflect on where they are now, where they wish to go and what areas of program development will prove beneficial in their prevention efforts.
