Welcome to the Coping and Support Training (CAST) Web site! In the following categories, you can find several tools that can help with the CAST program, whether you are just learning about the program or if you are sustaining and evaluating an existing program. Click on Is CAST Right For You? for a downloadable guide to our Web site. If you don't find what you need to decide if CAST is suited for you, please contact us.
This Web site is designed to walk decision-makers and interventionists through the chronological steps of learning about, laying the groundwork for, implementing, evaluating, and sustaining CAST in their settings. The sections, therefore, are laid out sequentially, generally organized by the staff member roles (i.e., administrator, CAST Coordinator, CAST Leader) associated with tasks unique to each step in the process.
