The Regional Prevention Center created this eight-hour session for minors and their parents or guardians. The program is held on Saturday so that attendance will not conflict with school and work schedules of most participants.

Activities are designed to be experiential and thought-provoking while providing participants with accurate, up-to-date information about the implications of underage substance abuse. Call Smoky Hill Foundation For Chemical Dependency, Inc-Outpatient Treatment at (785) 625-5521 to learn more.
