Youth Outreach
Educating Kids about the Dangers of Opioid and Drug Use
One of the goals of CCC is to raise awareness about opioid and stimulant use/ misuse including their effects, and what local resources and treatment options are available to prevent and treat their use and abuse.
With substance abuse starting at earlier ages, we are looking to public schools to help revamp their drug abuse education programs
We are continuously adapting our services to meet the needs of the community promoting self-sufficiency for youth and families by increasing prevention services and programming in communities and schools to ensure access to needed behavioral health services, peer support, like substance misuse disorder screenings and treatment referrals
On any given day staff may be:
· Providing case management
· Finding shelter for a teen or adult experiencing homelessness
· Providing peer support services
· Helping a family member access treatment
· Providing training or education at a school
We provide teacher training and resources on opioids that teachers can include in their curriculum
