 Youth
Life-Skills Intervention Program
This highly interactive educational course provides options for two educational approaches. The first method works collaboratively with the justice system
in utilzing alternative sentencing for young offenders and provides parents and
schools with disciplinary and educational options when chemical use is
evident in their children. The second approach addresses high school students in the school setting using fun, educational modules that have been effective in preventing the
onset of addiction among non-using or experimenting youth.
