After-School Programs

LST Program

The LifeSkillsTraining program is different than other prevention programs in several important ways. First, it is based on science. It was carefully designed to target the primary causes of substance use after an extensive review of the existing research literature. Many prevention programs are based on guesses and hunches about what might work. The LifeSkills Training program  is based on what the latest research tells us about the causes of substance abuse.

Local After-School/ Summer Programs In
The Mohawk Valley

This year, the Council has run a wide variety of prevention programs. These programs have included after-school programs at Kernan Elementary, and The Neighborhood Center in Utica.We implemented "Life Skills Program" this year. Life Skills is a science-based prevention program aimed at reducing and preventing drug/alcohol use while improving social and communication skills. Research conducted over 20 years has shown that this program has cut tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana use by up to 75%. It has been proven effective with all races and ages. The program not only educates children about the dangers of drugs/alcohol, but also teaches the children valuable "life skills" to use in their future!
