Substance Abuse Prevention Programs
UII combats the use and
misuse of alcohol, marijuana, stimulants, hallucinogens and other
drugs in our Substance Abuse Prevention Program. We combine the
expertise of counselors, certified teachers, and child development
specialists to create a familiar, supportive environment for at-risk
youth that emphasizes education, prevention, and intervention.
Our goal is to teach young people the dangers of substance abuse,
promote healthy lifestyle alternatives, and instill positive patterns
and habits.
In this program, UII incorporates
themes such as family history and customs, peer pressure, and personal/civic
responsibility. Specifically, UII’s Prevention Activities include:
- alcohol and drug education

UII’s Intervention Activities
include:
