It was beginning to feel like prevention was being reduced to plug and play
programs, often costly and requiring significant skills to write grants to fund
and maintain. What is exciting about Simple Gifts is anyone can use them
in practical ways day-to-day to make life better in their own situations and by
doing so make the world a little better place. We can all use Simple Gifts with
little or no training or gatekeeping putting prevention back in the hands of
everyday people. Programs aren't often readily sustainable, kernels are.
– LaDonna Coy, •President at Learning for Change, Inc.
In this day of global economic challenge and
tight budgets everywhere, effective low-cost population-level prevention strategies are needed more
than ever. That's exactly what the prevention "kernels" of the Simple Gifts
Initiative are: evidence-based strategies that are research-proven, affordable,
and applicable broadly in all types of community. I've seen these kernels in
action here in Kansas. They are impeccably researched, easy to understand, and
straightforward to deploy, yet when applied at scale they can bring about
startling population-level improvement in
the health and well being of youth and communities.
