SUMMARY:Prime S.H.I.F.T. Part 3: The Art of Reflection*
DESCRIPTION:Register for this event \n*Repeated session. \nTrainer: Dr. David Rosengren \nDescription: \nThis third installment focuses on the art of reflection as a facilitation skill — exploring how to weave client statements into Prime For Life while bringing our genuine self into the delivery. \nPrime For Life instructors know the curriculum matters—but how we deliver it matters just as much. The interactive sessions in this series focus on core facilitation skills that bring the program to life\, enhance engagement\, and deepen participant impact. Through guided practice\, application\, and reflection\, instructors will strengthen their ability to connect with groups\, respond effectively to participant language\, and confidently translate these skills into both in-person and Zoom settings. \nGoals:   \nThe sessions in this series aim to strengthen instructors’ confidence and effectiveness in delivering Prime For Life by enhancing core facilitation skills that support engagement\, responsiveness\, and fidelity. Participants will deepen their understanding of how these skills influence participant experience and outcomes\, while practicing practical strategies they can immediately apply in their own groups.   \nLearning Objectives:  \nBy the end of a S.H.I.F.T. session\, participants will be able to:  \n\nDemonstrate at least two strategies for increasing participant engagement and managing silence in group settings.\nIdentify and respond to different types of client language using reflective listening techniques within Prime For Life delivery.\nApply one facilitation skill in a structured practice activity and describe how it can be integrated into their own teaching context. \n\nDates and Times (EASTERN TIME) \nOctober 9\, 2026: 9:00 – 10:30 AM Eastern Time \nTime Zone Converter (Zoom also gives you the option to add it to your local calendar):\nhttps://time.is/compare \nDetails: \nAll sessions are live-hosted\, screen-to-screen 1.5 hour Continuing Education Sessions (CES) with PRI Trainers. All sessions will be presented via Zoom. PRI is unable to award hours for sessions previously attended. \nPlease note that participants are responsible for ensuring online PRI sessions and the number of hours earned fulfill your system’s requirements. Credentialing requirements for online sessions stipulate all participants must (1) individually register\, and (2) log into the online session on their own device to received credit/hours for attending. Learners who participate in an online session via shared login will not receive a certificate. Learners are also required to attend sessions in full for credit hours to be awarded.  Participants will receive a survey email after the session and will receive a certificate once the survey has been submitted. The link to the surveys are also available on the instructor site under “My Trainings.” Note\, participants must attend the entire session. \nPRI supports low risk driving choices. Therefore\, we will remove anyone who is driving on a Zoom call hosted by our team. So as to not further distract\, we will not chat or verbally ask questions first. You’ll be able to join a different Zoom session\, from a stationary place\, at a later date.

SUMMARY:NEW - Beyond the Breathalyzer: Inside Drug Recognition Experts (DRE) and What It Means for Practice
DESCRIPTION:Register for this event \nGuest Presenter: Mike Blute\, DRE \nDescription: \nDrug impairment is evolving—and so is detection. This session offers an inside look at the Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) program\, including the extensive training\, standardized evaluation process\, and how DREs identify impairment beyond alcohol. Guided by DRE trainer Mike Blute\, participants will explore what officers are seeing in the field\, emerging drug trends\, and how DRE findings intersect with treatment\, assessment\, and referral pathways such as the Georgia DUI Risk Reduction program.  \nWe’ll also examine how DRE protocols are implemented across jurisdictions\, including key differences in policies\, legal thresholds\, and courtroom challenges from state to state. Additional topics include common substances encountered\, poly-drug use\, documentation practices\, and the reliability and limitations of DRE evaluations. Participants will gain practical insight into how DRE outcomes influence client trajectories and what helping professionals should understand when working with justice-involved individuals.  \nGoals:   \nUnderstand DRE training and protocols\, explore field trends in drug impairment\, and examine how DRE findings influence DUI Risk Reduction referrals\, assessment practices\, and cross-state policy considerations.  \nLearning Objectives:  \nUpon completion of this continuing education session\, participants will be able to:  \n\nDescribe the DRE training process and the standardized 12-step evaluation used to assess drug impairment. \nIdentify common substances\, trends\, and patterns observed by DREs in the field\, including poly-drug use. \nAnalyze how DRE findings inform referrals to DUI Risk Reduction programs and vary across state policies and legal frameworks. \n\nDates and Times (EASTERN TIME) \nOctober 9\, 2026: 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM Eastern Time \nTime Zone Converter (Zoom also gives you the option to add it to your local calendar):\nhttps://time.is/compare \nDetails: \nAll sessions are live-hosted\, screen-to-screen 1.5 hour Continuing Education Sessions (CES) with PRI Trainers.

SUMMARY:NEW - Why We Do What We Do: Reflecting Unit\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Register for this event \nTrainers: Ray Daugherty & Dr. David Rosengren \nDescription: \nStep beyond the manual and into the intentional design of Prime For Life – Why We Do What We Do (WWDWWD). This master class deconstructs the program’s precision-engineered architecture\, connecting foundational science to the Central Route to Persuasion.

SUMMARY:Prime Solutions Level I Training
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Prime Solutions Level I Training! Prime Solutions® is a “flexibly standardized” approach to treatment. It provides flexibility for counselors to meet the varied needs of clients\, along with the standardization state and local agencies require to ensure quality. Consistent with Motivational Interviewing\, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy\, and the Transtheoretical Model of Change\, all 20 session topics are designed for easy integration with Twelve-Step involvement and enriched with carefully developed media. \nTraining participants must be able to attend all 3 sessions and complete independent work between live meetings (via Zoom). Each session is 2 hours in length. \nUS Date and Time: \n\nNovember 5\, 2026: 1:00-3:00PM ET\nNovember 12\, 2026: 1:00-3:00 PM ET\nNovember 19\, 2026: 1:00-3:00 PM ET\n\n\nThe training fee is $600*. \n*Note: For approved GA DBHDD providers the training fee is reduced to $400.00 (must enter provider number on the registration form.) For those providing services to active members of the military\, the fee is $400.00. \nHours: \n\nPRI has been accredited as an Authorized Provider by The Association for Addiction Professionals (NAADAC). Approximately 13 hours will be awarded and the participant will receive their training certificate after all online requirements have been completed. It is the participant’s responsibility to establish whether hours earned in PRI events fulfill credentialing requirements of affiliated agencies. We begin promptly at the time indicated. Due to the sequential nature of the training process\, please understand we cannot admit late participants. Total contact hours awarded will be stated on the certificate received by participants after the event. \nPlease note: attending the same learning event more than once\, even as a “refresher\,” does not meet the credentialing criteria Prevention Research Institute must follow to award hours. This does not mean that you cannot attend any NIT\, PS\, or CE session more than once; it simply means that doing so will serve as a personal learning opportunity only (no hours will be awarded the second time).
