Southwest Prevention Center
- Southwest Prevention Center
The Southwest Prevention Center (SWPC) is a department within the College of Continuing Education at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, OK. It is committed to the prevention of substance abuse (alcohol, tobacco, and other drug abuse) and related high-risk behaviors. Spanning more than a decade, the SWPC has a rich history of providing prevention information, education, training, technical assistance, and prevention resource system development opportunities to clients at state, regional, and national levels.
The Southwest Prevention Center is driven by the belief that people support what they help create, that skilled and knowledgeable local people best solve local problems, and that evidence guides effective practice. With these core beliefs, the SWPC serves as a catalyst for positive social change and leads the field of substance abuse prevention by cultivating skills and capacities in people, organizations, and systems in order to foster safe and healthy communities.
The SWPC also houses the Southwest CAPT (Center for the Application of Prevention Technologies). The CAPT’s provide technical assistance at the regional level for the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), an agency of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
