Choices - Assessment and Treatment
Parenting Wisely is an evidenced-based program that improves parenting skills for at-risk youth and is a prevention program for families. Should further intervention be needed, Choices, a second tier, includes screening and assessment of the youth and placement into an evidenced-based outpatient treatment program called CART, Creating a Responsible Thinker. Both parents and children participate and treatment addresses youth who are using drugs or even involved with Juvenile Drug Court. These two programs address youth and their parents. |
