Empowering Parents and Youth Through Prevention Events and Programs
Prevention events and programs for parents and youth.
Building Stronger Futures.
Building stronger futures hinges upon the proactive implementation of substance prevention programs tailored for both adults and youth. These programs play a pivotal role in equipping individuals with the knowledge, skills, and support networks necessary to make informed decisions and resist the allure of substance abuse. By fostering open communication, imparting coping mechanisms, and promoting a sense of belonging within the community, these initiatives lay the foundation for informed decisions.
Smart Parenting for Smart Kids
It takes more than school smarts to build a fulfilling life. Our culture’s relentless focus on “being impressive” places a huge burden on children that can eclipse other aspects of their development and leave them feeling anxious, disconnected, irritable, or filled with self-doubt. This program offers parents do-able strategies to help children learn to temper perfectionism, build relationships, and find joy.
