Reconnect Youth (RY)

    Reconnecting Youth targets youths who are at-risk of dropping out or failing high school or using alcohol and other drugs.  This program is designed to raise self-esteem, improve decision-making skills, improve personal control and develop interpersonal communication skills.  Students also develop adaptive coping and relationship skills; discuss the dangers of experimenting with depression and suicidal ideation.  Social activities are planned throughout the school year to establish positive social relationships and friendships, as well as improve a teen's relationship to their school environment.

Peer Mentor

The Peer Mentor Program harnesses the power of peer influence to provide a positive, confidential, safe place to develop positive peer relationships; learn about the effects of alcohol and other drugs; identify risk behaviors in their own lives; and receive support.  Students are trained as mentors and facilitate peer groups in their schools, under the supervision of a Council staff person.  Students also are able to meet one-on-one with a peer mentor.
