Alcohol & Drug Prevention

New Resources:

School Safety Professional Development Grant for Montana school districts.  Grants expected to open for 2022-23 school year in late spring/summer of 2022. 

 

PAX Good Behavior Game:  Announcing this FABULOUS opportunity for pre-K through 5th grade classrooms across our state!  The Addictive and Mental Disorders Division (AMDD) of DPHHS has been awarded 2.1 million dollars to enhance and increase efforts to mitigate the effects of opiate abuse in Montana.  AMDD has chosen to direct these funds to prevention efforts and is offering schools, school districts and community coalitions throughout the State the opportunity to apply for extensive training and support services to implement the PAX Good Behavior Game(GBG) in pre-K to 5 classrooms in both public and private school settings.  The PAX GBG is an evidence-based practice that has been widely shown to prevent substance abuse as well as suicide and other maladaptive behaviors.  The initial funding ($2.1 million) was awarded in FFY19 and continues through FFY21. For further information please contact the Prevention Bureau at: AMDD Email or 406.444.6981.
