INTERVENTIONLAKES CENTER FOR YOUTH & FAMILIES <br />PROGRAM <br />Our Intervention Program works in partnership with <br />parents, schools, and the justice system to develop <br />healthy, positive decision-making skills and interrupt <br />harmful behavior patterns. <br />Our staff helps youth who are involved in <br />higher-risk behavior understand that they <br />are responsible for the outcomes of their <br />decisions and empower them to make <br />better choices. By using programs <br />designed to reduce problem behaviors, <br />our intervention programs help individuals gain vital <br />development skills that lead to healthier relationships, <br />better decision making, and a deeper connectedness with <br />family and community. <br />We believe the advice, guidance, and involvement <br />of parents and guardians is essential for a <br />youth’s success in life. Through parent/ <br />guardian involvement in this program, <br />positive values are reinforced and integrated <br />into daily life. <br />PROGRAMS: GENERAL ASSESSMENT l TEEN INTERVENE l 12 & UNDER l CHEMICAL AWARENESS CLASS <br />NICOTINE CLASS l CHOICE & CONSEQUENCE CLASS l INDEPTH l TRUANCY PARENTING CLASS l IN-SCHOOL PREVENTION <br />“My child was in a cycle of getting in trouble at school.
