Welcome
Soundcheck Prevention Network is a non-profit substance misuse prevention organization.
​
We work with schools to develop student-centered, customized programming to increase wellbeing and prevent substance misuse.
Our Process
Consultation
We create customized prevention strategies with our partners by assessing current prevention practices, identifying challenges, and determining clear goals. Ongoing consultation is provided to ensure continuous support and connection.
Conduct Assessments
For schools that want a refresh or are new to prevention, we recommend engaging students and other stakeholders through a comprehensive Soundboards Assessment (see below for more information).
Develop or Revise Strategy
​
Together with school stakeholders, we develop prevention strategies that reinforce community values and long-term wellbeing and prevention goals. This includes educational programming, policy alignment, and training for adults.
Administer Interventions
Prevention is most effective when students, parents, and school staff are equipped to support healthy decision making. Soundcheck delivers workshops and education sessions to help the community work together.
Evaluate
As champions of prevention, we want to help your work stay relevant and meaningful. We'll help you track progress and adjust interventions using qualitative and quantitative feedback.

Soundboards Assessments
Our model was developed in collaboration with experts in evaluation and public health and through consultation with our school partners. A Soundboards Assessment is the foundation from which schools can develop sustainable prevention strategies.
​​
Soundboards are small-group interviews with students and other community members such as parents, faculty and staff, and coaches. Through this process, we gain valuable insight into existing strengths and supports, challenges, student needs, and substance use concerns.
