In-School Programming

Prevention education services are directed to affect critical life and social skills, improve decision-making and refusal skills, enhance adolescents’ resilience, increase knowledge about alcohol and other drugs, decrease adolescent's use of alcohol and other drugs, delay the onset use of alcohol and other drugs, increase knowledge about environmental factors that promote alcohol and other drugs.

 

After-School Programs

Utilizes the evidence-based LIFE SKILLS Training, a prevention program that needs to reach as many young people as possible. Involving low-risk students ensures that at-risk students will understand that drug use and other risky behaviors are not usual or acceptable to the peer group.

 

Summer/Winter Camps

UMADAOP of Franklin County serves youth during the school breaks during our Prevention Explorers Camp.

 

Mentoring

Provides therapeutic mentoring, life skills training, and community service support for at-risk youth needing structure, support, and guidance. These youth are allowed to build or enhance social skills, develop life skills, and become contributing community members.
