Drug & Alcohol Prevention Programs

TREHAB's Prevention Department conducts educational programs in schools and throughout the community to build protective factors and to reduce risk factors for alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD) abuse.

School Programs:

Student Assistance Program (SAP)

TREHAB Prevention personnel regularly attend SAP meetings at each school, and provide D&A resources and referrals as needed. TREHAB has also conducted SAP team training and teambuilding events and activities, county-wide.

Classroom Education

Too Good For Drugs (TGFD) and LifeSkills Training (LST), both evidence based curricula, are conducted in six of the seven elementary schools in Susquehanna County. The classroom presentations include a combination of specific ATOD information and social/life skills development. Integrated delivery methods include: hands-on activities, games, videos, creative expression, worksheets, lecture and discussion.

Other Presentations

Special topic presentations are arranged periodically for middle and high school students and cover a wide range of subject matter, from ATOD specifics to the importance of sound decision-making and appropriate goal setting. TREHAB also brings in speakers and high-energy presentations from organizations such as the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Pennsylvania Tobacco Control Program.

Youth Groups

Members of TREHAB Prevention staff also provide resources for student groups such as Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), Key Clubs, Student Council, Scouts and 4-H Clubs.

Contests

TREHAB coordinates and co-sponsors contests to offer students an opportunity to display their knowledge and understanding of drug related topics through creative expression.

OASIS

With funding from United Way of Susquehanna County, Trehab Prevention introduced a new after-school program for interested 7th through 12th grade students. The program, called OASIS (Opportunities After School Increase Success), was developed by Trehab Prevention staff using evidence-based resources from National Health Promotion Associates, Search Institute, Penn State University Cooperative Extension and The Franklin Covey Institute. Students meet one day each week, January through May, to learn "soft" skills such as decision making, time management, communication and other skills they'll use throughout life. Team building and leadership development activities are part of the summer and fall schedule which includes community service, day camp and field trips.
