Youth education, prevention, resilience-building, and early intervention.

Our youth substance use program focuses on:

  • Building coping skills and healthy decision-making
  • Mindfulness and self-regulation
  • Trauma-informed prevention education
  • Parent workshops on early warning signs
  • Early intervention strategies for at-risk youth
  • Connections to recovery resources when needed

This work strengthens protective factors and reduces risk among underserved youth.
