Spark Discussion

Health practices across the country have limited time for staff and provider training. To meet the needs of busy health centers looking to improve their adolescent-centered practices, AHI offers mini-trainings called Sparks.
Questions About Sparks?
Sparks are free, ready-to-use, and include a PowerPoint presentation, a facilitator script, and follow-up materials. They are designed for providers or staff to deliver in 15-30 minutes at staff meetings or professional development opportunities. Sparks can be facilitated by providers or staff in any role, and are specifically designed to “spark” discussion and reflection among a multidisciplinary audience. Browse our Sparks library below.
