Deborah Haber has extensive
experience in managing national technical assistance
centers, designing training programs for practitioners to implement
evidence-based programs, and developing creative training seminars
and materials on issues of health, mental health, and violence
prevention for youth. Ms. Haber brings 10 years of experience leading
a major national training and technical assistance center, The
National Training Partnership (NTP), for the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. As NTP director, she designed and delivered
technical assistance (TA) services to every state department of
education in the country and 18 of the largest urban districts.
Services aimed to strengthen the capacity of school and community-based
agencies to implement CDC’s “Programs that Work”,
one of the first initiatives to translate research into practice.
As director of curriculum development and training and TA for the
Reach for Health project, funded by the National Institute of Child

to adapt and implement a research-based health risk behavior curriculum
to meet the needs of 3,600 students in three Brooklyn middle schools.
Ms. Haber has provided training and TA to local school communities,
state agencies, and national organizations. Ms. Haber worked with
Dr. Ron Slaby to train school, community, and law enforcement practitioners
to adapt Aggressors, Victims, and Bystanders, EDC’s nationally
recognized violence prevention curriculum, for use in their communities.
Ms. Haber holds a masters of education in health from Boston University.
