That principle is at the heart of a\u00a0partnership between the U.S. Army, the city of Alexandria, and CADCA, culminating in the launch of the Army Community Prevention Leadership Academy\u00a0(CPLA). This training is\u00a0a new professional development program designed to build the skills and capacity of the Army\u2019s prevention workforce. The Academy equips prevention integrators with\u00a0knowledge, tools, and processes needed to\u00a0address a range of harmful behaviors, including suicide, sexual assault, domestic violence, and substance misuse.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">CADCA\u00a0worked closely\u00a0with Army leadership to tailor its well-established community prevention model to the military environment. While the underlying prevention principles\u00a0remain\u00a0the same, the curriculum was adapted to reflect the realities of Army installations and command structures. This included translating community-based terminology into military language while\u00a0maintaining\u00a0the core concepts that drive effective\u00a0prevention\u00a0work. The framework still emphasizes collaboration across sectors through strong partnerships and data-driven decision-making, but in ways that support commanders and align with Army governance processes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&quot;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This [Academy] has been a vision of our President and CEO General Barrye L.\u00a0Price,\u201d said CADCA Chief Strategy Officer Pat Castillo. \u201cWhen he came to CADCA, he told us we\u00a0have the opportunity to\u00a0work with installations. These are communities across the country and around the world where we can help train others in our model of community change.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The first cohort of the Academy is wrapping up training now, and participants\u00a0represented\u00a0a wide range of Army components, including Active Duty, the National Guard, and the Army Reserve, spanning installations across the nation and beyond.\u00a0Participants in the\u00a0CPLA\u00a0included both soldiers and civilian personnel who had been formally appointed by their commanders to support prevention efforts within their units or communities.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These individuals are part of the Army\u2019s emerging Integrated Primary Prevention\u00a0Workforce,\u00a0a capability created in response to recommendations from the Suicide Prevention and Response Independent Review\u00a0Committee. The\u00a0committee\u00a0called for\u00a0greater investment in developing a professional prevention workforce\u00a0to reduce harmful behaviors.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">report identified that more capabilities are needed to set conditions in the culture and climate of organizations so that soldiers and family members know that seeking help is the easy choice, seeking help is a sign of strength,\u201d said\u00a0Renee Johnson,\u00a0HQDA Suicide Prevention and Response Program Manager. \u201cWe\u00a0want seeking help to be the societal norm in that community, in that installation.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Over three nonconsecutive weeks, participants received hands-on learning through virtual instruction in addition to one-on-one coaching from\u00a0prevention experts\u00a0and technical\u00a0assistance\u00a0consultants.\u00a0The training focused on helping leaders translate public health science and evidence-based strategies into practical strategies they can implement within their own installations.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Throughout the training, participants developed six tangible products to guide prevention efforts in their installations and commands: a community assessment examining local conditions and risk factors; a logic model identifying root causes and pathways for change; a strategic and action plan; an evaluation plan; an evaluation communication plan; and a sustainability plan.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Many participants came into the training with a strong knowledge of their communities but\u00a0lacked\u00a0a structured process for translating that knowledge into coordinated action. Participants also received individual coaching sessions to help refine their products and adapt them to their local context. This hands-on support is\u00a0imperative in ensuring that the training produces plans that participants could\u00a0implement\u00a0immediately\u00a0while\u00a0remaining\u00a0sustainable in the long term.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">During the course, participants conducted inventories of helping agencies, services, and programs available within their installations and surrounding communities. They assessed how well these resources were connected and whether soldiers and families were familiar with how to access them.\u00a0Participants were also challenged to think about how to improve those connections and build systems that encourage early support, before challenges escalate into crises.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Graduates will continue to receive support from CADCA through access to training resources\u00a0and a national prevention community of practice for the next 12 months.\u00a0The\u00a0ultimate goal\u00a0of the Academy is to help leaders build sustainable systems that support change\u00a0for years to come.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For CADCA, this training\u00a0represents\u00a0the expansion of community-based prevention approaches into military communities around the world. We look forward to continuing\u00a0these efforts\u00a0and are immensely grateful\u00a0to\u00a0our partners who make this work possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Communities\u00a0see the greatest impact\u00a0when prevention is built into the systems that support them.
