We offer programming and support across the lifespan in several areas that encourage people on their path to recovery, give youth the skills they need for smart and health decisions, give parents the support that they need, support older adults to encourage wellness, and arm communities with the tools they need to reduce substance misuse.
Upcoming Programs
This list is some of our upcoming programs. Please visit our family, older adult, school, community, and recovery support pages or our events calendar to see what other programs we offer!
WISE
The WISE Program is a health and wellness program targeting older adults. WISE promotes health through education concerning high-risk behaviors in older adults. The WISE Program is designed to help older adults celebrate healthy aging, make healthy lifestyle choices and avoid substance abuse. The curriculum is designed to take place once per week over a six-week period. Each lesson is about 1 ½ to 2 hours, not including time breakfast or lunch, which we recommend serving in order to help the group get to know each other and socialize. Older Adults receive a $25 Visa Gift Card upon graduation.
