The Prevention Department is Crossroads Counseling Services' link to the community, offering a wide variety of prevention programs and activities.

​

Our prevention programs are primarily designed for at-risk populations, with a specific focus on at-risk youth enrolled in early diversion programming.The goal of prevention is to arrest or delay the onset of addictive and risky behaviors, such as substance abuse and gambling, by increasing knowledge of the existing problems and developing positive life skills.

In addition to the youth-targeted programming, we offer many programs to the community-at-large for the purpose of education, information dissemination and public awareness of the ongoing problems of addiction.Through collaboration with other agencies and organizations throughout the tri-county area, we are committed to increasing knowledge of the effects of addictive behaviors and other related problems through Town Hall meetings, Health Fair participation, media campaigns, and more.
