Our team of trained prevention specialists deliver evidence - <br />based programming in the classroom at their dedicated schools or through community partnerships <br />afterschool/summer camps. <br />ReDirect is an "indicated" prevention program Licensed by DCF and Accredited by CARF. It aims to <br />increase protective factors and reduce risk factors for substance use and other health risk behaviors. <br />The program includes drug testing, individual, group, and family sessions focused on skill building. An <br />intake assessment identifies needs and risks and addresses those in an appropriate manner and <br />timeframe. The prevention specialist meets with the family to identify issues that impact successful <br />outcomes, and to make appropriate referrals to support on-going success. Our Re -Direct program uses <br />a menu of evidence based/informed interventions including Botvin LifeSkillls Training, Teen Intervene, <br />Decision Points and Prevention Plus Wellness. <br />This program will be brand new for the Substance Awareness Center, and is being created to serve a <br />need within the county's youth. An Adolescent Outpatient program will fill a gap in services that is <br />evident based on the number and type of clients that are being seen in the current fiscal year in our <br />Re -Direct program, the number of IRC youth committing misdemeanor offenses according to DJJ, and <br />the number of vapes confiscated on school campuses. <br />C.1 <br />
