Services address the State&#8217;s four prevention priorities: underage alcohol use, tobacco and nicotine product use, marijuana and other cannabinoid use, and prescription drug misuse.<\/p>\n<h6>\n\t\tFollow Impact Youth\n\t<\/h6>\n\t\t\t<h2>Universal vs. Indicated<\/h2>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<p>Universal prevention programs provide universal services utilizing associated strategies to broad populations without consideration of individual differences in risk for substance use and misuse. Universal prevention strategies take the broadest approach and are designed to reach entire groups or populations, e.g. schools, workplaces, whole communities.<\/p>\n<p>Indicated programs provide individualized services related to substance use and misuse that address specific risk conditions. Indicated prevention strategies target individuals due to initiative behaviors and\/or related risk factors that place the individual at an elevated risk for substance use and misuse.<\/p>\n<p>The Impact Youth Programs implement a universal evidenced-based curriculum &#8220;Too Good For Drugs&#8221; and an indicated &#8220;Community Based Support Group (CBSG) Youth Connection&#8221; curriculum in Midland and Ector Counties.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<h6>How Can I Schedule With<\/h6><h2>Impact Youth<\/h2>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<p>To schedule curriculum for your school or agency, other Youth Prevention programming or for assistance, contact Prevention Programs Director, Mellessa Brenem, at <a href=\"mailto:mbrenem@pbrcada.org\">mbrenem@pbrcada.org<\/a>\u00a0or <a href=\"tel:4323334100\">(432) 333-4100<\/a><\/p>\n\t<ul>\n\t\t<li><p><h5 data-fontsize=\"34\" data-lineheight=\"49.98px\">LOOK FOR US IN THE COMMUNITY!<\/h5><\/p><\/li>\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading='false' src=\"https:\/\/pbrcada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ymc1.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading='false' src=\"https:\/\/pbrcada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_8059.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading='false' src=\"https:\/\/pbrcada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_8058.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading='false' src=\"https:\/\/pbrcada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_8057.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading='false' src=\"https:\/\/pbrcada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_8056.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<h4>OTHER SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE IMPACT YOUTH PROGRAMS:<\/h4>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li><strong>UTILIZE EVIDENCE <\/strong><strong>BASED STRATEGIES<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>PREVENTION EDUCATION<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>HEALTH FAIRS<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>PREVENTION PRESENTATIONS<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>PARTICIPATE IN SCHOOL CAMPAIGNS<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>INFORMATION DISSEMINATION<br \/><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>VOLUNTEERING<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>WE PROVIDE POSITIVE ALTERNATIVES FOR YOUTH AND FAMILIES<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>WE PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY-BASED PROCESSES<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>WE PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF ALL\u00a0 AGES<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Impact Youth Programs Impact Youth programs are programs which promote a proactive process to address health and wellness for youth, families, and communities by enhancing protective factors that increase knowledge,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pbrcada.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/158"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pbrcada.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pbrcada.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pbrcada.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pbrcada.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=158"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/pbrcada.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/158\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":273,"href":"https:\/\/pbrcada.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/158\/revisions\/273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pbrcada.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
