Drug Education and Prevention

Due to the high incidence of substance abuse associated with “at-risk” participants, a local drug education/ prevention agency will be utilized for drug abuse prevention programming. They will provide certified prevention specialists who come on-site to provide group discussion related education and prevention.

The objectives will be:

• To inform and educate about the hazards of drug use.

• To provide discussion on casual factors that can lead to substance abuse.

• To provide opportunity for participant involvement as peer educators.

• To create public awareness and advocate for drug abuse prevention.
