Leading the charge in school-based substance abuse prevention, our educators help young people set goals, practice responsible decision-making, resolve conflicts positively, and build healthy relationships to boost their confidence, self-efficacy, and resistance to substance use. Beyond the schools, we serve as a training and resource center for health professionals, behavioral health service providers, community coalitions, individuals, and families.
