WHO DO THEIR PROGRAMS
SUPPORT?
Since our establishment
in 1969 we have served the community through high-quality services
and effective prevention programs. We have an exciting range of
educational programs and services designed to engage children and
teens, address the needs of parents, and to provide employers,
educators, health professionals, policy-makers and the media with
authoritative information on tobacco, alcohol and other drugs.
SUPER In 2005 the consensus is
that referrals to an alternative school or an out-of-school
suspension for an alcohol, drug or violence-related offense is
simply not enough to help a student who has been involved in
alcohol, tobacco, or other drug intoxication, possession and/or
distribution.
