“We kind of step in as that person for them that's giving them good information that's answering questions that they have.”

Prevention and Positive Youth Development are a vital part of the comprehensive continuum of care that Wedgwood offers. Through these school and community-based services our team is able to be a source of reliable information, encouragement, and support. 

In this week’s Coffee Break Conversation Cathy Racalla, the Prevention Services Team Lead, talks about how the challenges of kids and families have changed (and what challenges have continued), the impact positive youth development and prevention education can have, and how fun activities can also teach important lessons.

Wedgwood provides a comprehensive continuum of care, from prevention education and outpatient counseling services, to residential treatment and aftercare support. Learn more at www.wedgwood.org/services/community-programs/positive-youth-development/
