The Positive Adolescent Social Skills program is considered an Prevention/Early Intervention

Program.

These services are designed to teach adolescents basic skills that could enable them to take more positive control of their lives. The focus of this course is to teach the youth that they have the ability to make decisions for themselves and to say no to negative peer pressure. It also provides support and education to the parent/guardian of the youth. The program is designed for those who are at risk of entering or are first offenders in the juvenile justice system.

Once the referral is received, an appointment will be made with the youth and their parent/legal guardian to ensure appropriate program service delivery.
