Overview and Referral Training

In order to support the network of PREP workshop leaders, the OMI has also developed a network of referral sources. Periodically, the OMI offers training to those professionals who are in a position to refer couples/individuals to community-based workshops, but who may not be appropriate providers of that service. This Overview and Referral Training, provides practical skills and tools to aid in delivering appropriate messages to potential workshop attendees. While this network is primarily comprised of Department of Human Services (DHS) staff, other referral sources are located at the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension Service (OCES), Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Domestic Violence organizations and various other groups.
