Southeastern's Prevention Program assists communities in the area of alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD) education. The program is funded by two grants from the state of Illinois Division of Community Health and Prevention. Teen REACH serves kids in Crawford County and is designed to enable, empower and encourage at-risk youth (ages 6-17) through after-school and summer programs that stimulate healthy growth and development. For more information about Teen REACH, please see the following website: www.dhs.state.il.us/chp/op/cyp/teenReach.asp.BCPP (Bureau of Commuity Prevention Programs) services are located in Jasper, Richland and Wayne counties. A before-school program is offered in Jasper that offers homework assistance and violence prevention education. In Richland and Wayne counties, the focus is on the active process of creating conditions that reinforce healthy behaviors among youth while making unsafe behaviors less likely to occur. Also, in Wayne County as a collaborative effort with the elementary school in Wayne City, Southeastern conducts the Incredible Years program. This program provides education and support to parents of preschool aged students.
