RESOURCES & DOCUMENTS

CPI has mobilized a core team of consultants with expertise in various aspects of meth problem solving to develop resources and documents to aid California communities. You are invited to take advantage of these select resources by accessing them at this site. If you would like to request no-cost training on one or more of the training modules provided, please submit an online request. All requests are subject to an approval process.

We have also provided documents to keep you informed about progress on meth that is taking place on other fronts, such as the California Governor’s Prevention Advisory Council and the California Senate Select Committee on Methamphetamine Abuse.

As additional appropriate resources and documents become available, we will post them. If you have suggestions for material that would be useful for you or others to access here, please send us your ideas.

Prevention Tactic
This Prevention Tactic focuses on solving meth problems by drawing on what is known about what works in community meth prevention and highlighting the specific experience of the community of Vista in San Diego County. It includes examples of the work that the author has been instrumental in doing there through a Weed and Seed project. Simple action steps and resources are also provided. Additional print copies of this Tactic are available by contacting us.
