Prevention Plus offers both school and community-based programming designed to increase awareness and understanding about the prevention of violence and problems with alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. Programs that teach skills promoting healthy youth development and positive peer relationships are provided in elementary, middle and high schools as well as in after school clubs located in a variety of settings. Classes that assist parents with ways to help their children and teenagers resist the pressures to use illicit substances or engage in other dangerous situations are also offered. Conflict mediation training is provided to train young people as peer mediators for school based programs. Prevention Planning Teams partner with schools and other stakeholders to obtain youth risk data and other information to assess and address community risk and protective factors through the prevention planning process. RAYSAC (Roanoke Area Youth Substance Abuse Coalition) is staffed out of the prevention office and conducts multiple activities for Red Ribbon Week and After Prom Grand Finale
(www.raysac.org).
