Services for Youth

Customizable prevention programs for youth to address drugs, alcohol and nicotine.

Preparing Youth to Thrive

Today’s youth face many challenges. They often need help when it comes to finding and taking the right path. Our programs for youth help students to reach their potential and equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to overcome life's obstacles in a healthy, substance-free way. Programs and services can be offered in-person or through virtual platforms.

Assessments

Caron's Education Alliance provides behavioral health assessments for students in grades five through twelve. During one-on-one meetings, Caron's Specialists interview students to identify substance use related problems, mental health issues, and other factors that could negatively affect a young person’s life. Upon completing the comprehensive assessment, specialists make recommendations and help students implement them.

Recommendations are confidential and will only be shared with the guardian of the student and the school’s SAP Core Team. Participation is voluntary. Parents have the right to choose whether their children will participate. Parents who want to request an assessment for their child can complete an online form or call 800-678-2332 ext. 6117.
