Substance Use Interventions

Teen Intervene

Teen Intervene is designed as a comprehensive screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) model of care. Teenagers who have experienced mild to moderate problems associated with alcohol or drug use work one-to-one with Wellness Center staff to identify and, ultimately, change their choices and behaviors. This is a brief two session intervention with an optional third session with the students parents/guardian.

Forward Thinking Journals

The Forward Thinking Journal Series is a cognitive-behavioral series that uses evidence-based strategies to assist youth involved in using substances in making positive changes to their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Applying the information presented in the Interactive Journals to their own lives helps participants achieve their goals for responsible living.

The Forward Thinking Interactive Journaling® Series was developed in collaboration with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Justice's Interactive Journaling® Charter.
