Substance use education, including opioid prevention education, is offered to middle and high school students using the evidence-based curriculum, Too Good for Drugs. While developing skills to increase positive decision-making, goal setting, and how to resist peer pressure, the program also educates youth about the negative effects of drug use and the benefits of being drug-free. Parent and staff presentations are offered as well, in addition to community outreach events being held.

Suicide Prevention Programs:
EMPACT-SPC offers classroom presentations to middle and high school youth, using the Signs of Suicide (SOS) evidence-based curriculum.  Youth are educated about warning signs of depression and suicide, and those at risk are referred for behavioral health services.
