The ProgramBecause the needs of our clients vary, we offer an awareness program that is customized to the specific needs of your organization. The goal of the program is to provide continuous intervention and education which, in turn, will help to reinforce and sustain the effects of the prevention message.
There is a greater likelihood that the behavior in the prevention message will be adopted when multiple channels for spreading the prevention message are used. School-based programs alone may not reach those youth who are at highest risk for drug abuse, including school dropouts, chronic absentees, runaways, and gang members. By using multiple channels (including schools, parents, community organizations, mass media, and policy), the skills which are learned initially in the school program are reinforced by a consistent community social norm for non-drug use. Greater message consistency is likely to lead to more rapid formulation of non-drug use attitudes, intentions, and behavior.
