Our Prevention Programs
The primary goal of Horizons’ Substance Use Prevention programs is to reduce the initiation of alcohol consumption and binge drinking among Middle School, High School, and Transitional aged youth, respectively. Through a combination of evidenced based and high appeal, innovative substance use services, practices, and frameworks, the programs focus on building both universal and culturally-relevant protective factors while ameliorating risk factors. Horizons’ prevention programs are in high demand and have been recognized for their ability to bridge culture and innovation with effective and proven strategies within the prevention field.
