Prevention Program

PARTICIPANTS

Programs primarily target youth under the age of 18 living in drug and crime-infested neighborhoods who are at high risk for drug abuse or who are exhibiting early signs of drug abuse and criminal activity. Some programs assist adults in reinforcing support measures in developing youth "pro-social norms". Program managers also attempt to increase parental participation; absentee, uninvolved, or drug addicted parents oftentimes are at the core of their children’s risk for drug abuse.
