This toolkit is designed to assist program managers with planning prevention programs to address substance use and mental health problems in older adults. It covers assessing the readiness of an organization to implement a program, creating an arsenal of resources as sources of information, planning staff education, and writing a program plan. The toolkit is accompanied by a YouTube Video and booklet that profiles program success stories.
