Prevention Digest - May 2013
|
Greetings Preventionists,
In addition to the topics and resources we've highlighted below in this issue of the Prevention Digest, I'd like to call your attention to changes we've made to the Task Force's website. While the overall look and feel has been retained, much work has been done to intuitively reorganize and streamline the path to our most sought-after resources. For example, all past issues of the Prevention Digest (and other SATF publications) are now centrally located on a single page. Our website is a work-in-progress and improving it is one of my ongoing projects, so if you have any feedback or suggestions, please email me or use our nifty website issue form. As always, if you have suggestions for content to be included in a future issue of the Prevention Digest, please contact us.
