PC2 GOALS

GOAL: To increase positive academic/community engagement thereby addressing the behaviors of young people leading to substance use and inappropriate behaviors. In addition, the goal is to increase communication and bonding between parents and children. Encouraging families to communicate and be more involved in each other's lives would foster higher self-esteem in youth and aide in their ability to have better refusal skills and more success in schools.
