Youth at Risk Program

CAASTLC staff provides classroom presentations on a variety of topics to stress the importance of staying in school and obtaining a good education, and consequences of the negative alternatives of gangs, dropping out, and incarceration.  Other topics covered include peer pressure, relationships, and positive communication skills.  School principals, teachers, counselors, and police officers identify and refer high risk students needing individual and family case management intervention and support.
