- Prevention: Projects should be offered to school-age youth, 7-17 (or an appropriate subset of this age range), using a strengths-based approach, with an emphasis on promoting resiliency to reduce opioid and other drug use. Projects can include offering structured one-on-one sessions or group sessions. Projects should focus on building positive relationships, encouraging youth to develop healthy relationships, and sharing community resources.
