Youth Empowerment Supports

Empowering youth in enhancing their lives by encouraging healthier choices.


I want to connect with someone who’s been there, gets it, and can listen. And, I want to help others who are where I’ve been.

YES offers: 1:1 Youth Support, Youth Support Groups, Mentoring & Parent Support

As we continue to support the youth of our community, we have discovered that we have used our programming to help students beyond the realm of recovery from Substance Use Disorder (SUD). We introduce to you our, Youth Empowerment Support Program, (YES) where our team helps youth to become their best selves.

Whether it be struggles with SUD, mental health, self-love, family addiction, sexual identity, bullying, cessation, etc., we are here to help find ways to cope, manage and make healthier decisions while navigating tough situations.


If you’re a youth (12 and up) who’s struggling with substance use yourself, or within your family, and would like a peer to connect with, click below.
