Research shows that the more of these assets a young person has, the less likely they are to abuse drugs, skip school, fight, or attempt suicide. We strive to help young people develop as many of these building blocks as possible – which will ultimately help them succeed in school, resist danger, maintain good health, overcome trouble and grow to their full potential.Family involvement has also proven to be critical to the success of our adolescent participants. Beyond the routine engagement of their direct services and progress, we also encourage our caregivers to join our Family Association group to help support the teen’s treatment.
