Prevention Education Program (PEP)

Mission

PEP is committed to decreasing the initiation and use of drugs & alcohol by youth and young adults through awareness education and promotion of positive relationships and healthy life skills.

Overview

PEP provides a continuum of programs proven to reduce substance use by youth and young adults. The programs for youth promote healthy alternatives to risky behavior through activities designed to:

  • Increase their awareness of the risks of substance abuse
  • Teach them the necessary skills to resist risky behaviors
  • Help them to develop greater self-esteem and self-confidence
