Youth Prevention Education Services offer health and wellness programs in schools and throughout the community to empower youth with education and skills to support their healthy, drug-free lives, succeed in school, and develop to their full potential.
Staff facilitate four different evidence-based curricula to students in K-12th grade. Each program is designed to empower youth with knowledge and skills for making healthy choices. We also provide educational and interactive presentations and activities throughout the community on a variety of drug prevention/education topics. In addition, up to 10 counseling sessions can be provided to students, ages 12-19, in Dallas and Tarrant counties at no cost.
Services are offered in Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, Johnson, Parker, Wise, Collin, Grayson, Ellis, and Palo Pinto counties.
