Program Description
In 1989 the Washington State Legislature passed
the Omnibus Alcohol and Controlled Substances Act that provides funding
for state agencies to conduct a variety of programs that address the
public's concern about the level and consequences of alcohol, tobacco,
and other drug use. The Prevention and Intervention Services Program, operated by the Office of
Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), places intervention
specialists in schools to implement comprehensive student assistance
programs that address problems associated with substance use and
violence. As stated in the act (ESSHB 1793, Subpart B, Section 310,
Paragraph 2), intervention specialists are to (a) provide early alcohol
and other drug prevention and intervention services to students and their
families, (b) assist in referrals to treatment providers, and (c)
strengthen the transition back to school for students who have had
problems of alcohol and other drug abuse.
