Prevention and Education, Child and Family Services

Highlands Community Services' Prevention and Education program works to create drug free communities by partnering with other groups and organizations and providing evidence based programs that increase the development of positive life skills and help prevent or reduce youth substance abuse and negative behavior. These programs target the children and adolescents of Washington County and Bristol, Virginia and their families.



Prevention and Education programs are exhaustive and include everything from school-based education to parenting classes. Examples of other programs are the Too Good for Drugs Program and the Strengthening Families Program.
