Positive Action Program
Our Positive Action program teaches social-emotional learning skills such as self-concept, positive actions for your body and mind, managing yourself responsibly, treating others the way you like to be treated, telling yourself the truth, and improving yourself continually which has been found to increase mental health and positive behavior and to reduce substance use, bullying, violence, and truancy in youth.
Too Good for Drugs
Our Too Good for Drugs teaches social-emotional learning skills such as goal setting, making good decisions, identifying and managing emotions, effective communication, bonding, and relationships, making healthy choices, peer pressure refusal skills, and stress management in order to reduce antisocial and substance use behaviors and to increase resiliency in youth.
Curriculum Based Support Group
Our Curriculum Based Support Group focuses on increasing the protective factors of autonomy, social competence, interdependence, problem-solving, and sense of purpose in order to reduce anti-social attitudes and rebellious behavior and to increase coping and social skills. Recent data has found that the curriculum will help to mitigate Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
