Alcohol and Drug Prevention

Alcohol and Drug Prevention

The Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Program (AOD) is a children and youth focused program that aims to keep them in school and reduce and prevent high risk behaviors by using primary prevention strategies. The program works to reduce high-risk activities for high-need school aged children and youth through promoting educational attainment with our Learn, Earn, Have Fun Campaign by providing information on fulfilling educational school requirements from grade to grade, and successfully graduating from high school through our Care Coaching Model.

This project addresses ACPHD's Community Health Improvement Plan's strategy #3:
