Substance Use Prevention and Education

The foundations substance use prevention and education program aims at equipping young individuals with the knowledge, skills, and awareness to make informed and healthy choices regarding substance use. The program focuses on raising awareness about the risks associated with drug and alcohol use, providing accurate information about the consequences, and teaching refusal skills to resist peer pressure.

Our education and prevention efforts will empower young people to make responsible decisions and avoid the potentially harmful effects of substance abuse. Prevention and education not only protect the well-being of our youth but also contribute to building healthier, more resilient communities by reducing the societal burden of addiction and related issues.

Field Based Services

The foundations Field-based services for youth will appoint certified SUD counselors, peer specialist, and experienced mentors, at local schools, boys’ and girls’ clubs, short term residential treatment programs (STRTP) facilities and community centers to provide direct support and resources to young individuals in their own communities or environments., rather than in traditional institutional settings. These services are designed to address the unique needs and challenges that youth face and offer a more personalized and accessible approach to support.
