CHILD AND FAMILY SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION AND EARLY INTERVENTION

PROGRAM MISSION: To prevent youth from using and abusing alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs by decreasing risk factor and enhancing protective factors/assets to help youth make healthy life choices.

The Substance Abuse Prevention and Early Intervention Program prevents the development of substance abuse problems in youth by providing education and counseling to students, parents and school staff in the school setting and in the community. Staff provides leadership in working with public and private agencies to bring substance abuse prevention activities to a broader population. Staff offers evidenced based prevention programs approved by the federal Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) as well as alternative/character building activities designed to students and their parents' positive experiential opportunities. Assessment and referral services are provided to higher risk youth and their families. Consultation and training are provided to staff and parents.

  • For FY 2003 actuals, some measures show a decline due to three staff vacancies during the year.
  • In FY 2004 actual, the increase in number of youth is due to greater access to students in classrooms for presentations and testing. Greater access is expected to continue as permitted on an individual school basis. Shifts in school priorities influence access to students and the delivery of prevention services.
  • During the FY 2004 school year, SOL schedules significantly diminished access to students for prevention group sessions.
  • The numbers of classroom presentations were not tracked prior to FY 2003.
