Description:

Services that involve using information dissemination, education, community awareness and other strategies to preclude, forestall, or impede the development of substance use problems.

Alcohol Literacy Challenge:
An evidenced based, brief, classroom-based program. It aims to change what middle and high school youth expect from alcohol. These expectations are their beliefs about what alcohol will do to them such as make them more social, make them less tense, increase their aggression, and make them think less clear. Also aims to decrease the amount they use and how often the use.

Apple A Day:
An evidence-based prevention program. It is specifically for youth ages kindergarten to fourth grade to build skills, making friends, learn about drugs and alcohol, making good choices and feel safe. This program is part of the school day in weekly meetings for 8 weeks.

Teen Intervene:
An evidenced based prevention program. It consists of 3 or 4 sessions with a prevention specialist. Aims to help teens identify an alcohol or drug use disorder by themselves. It also provides a brief plan for intervention and guides the referral to more intensive services, when appropriate. Engages both the teen and the parents.

Project SUCCESS:
A research-based program that uses activities that are useful in reducing risk factors and increasing protective factors. Staff teach youth how to communicate, make decisions, manage stress and anger, problem solve, and resist peer pressure. Staff works with the teens in many ways such as individually, in small groups, or conduct large group discussions. They also may train school staff or consult with them. They also may make referrals for the students and families that need substance abuse or mental health treatment. Currently provided in the three Monroe County High Schools.
