Prevention
Whenever possible, SAY helps youth and young adults make choices that will lead them away from precarious paths to choices that will enrich their lives and the lives of their families.
Prevention is a wide umbrella for
a variety of services. We
train peer educators who encourage younger children to stay away
from alcohol and drugs. Our Opportunities
Now program offers tutoring and
mentoring to prevent high school
teens from failing or dropping out
of school. And our diversion groups
provide counseling to teach teens
about the perils of alcohol and
drugs and the many positive choices
life offers.
