The Kognition project is the prevention segment of our programming menu. The main and most important element in this program is teaching kids to recognize or identify things, thoughts, and problems that could have a negative affect on their lives and future goals. We want our kids to "think" (cognitive) about their choices and "start" (ignition) planning for their futures - TODAY. this program features a variety of prevention services, exercises, and collaboration with other prevention programs.


 
All-Stars

 

ALL STARS is a research-based prevention program developed by the Tangelwood Research Group for youth ages 10 – 15 offering a variety of activities and discussion. All Stars identifies four qualities that have the greatest impact on whether a young person will participate in substance use. The four qualities are Prosocial Ideals, Normative Beliefs, Personal Commitment, and Prosocial Bonding. The basic premise of the program is to get kids to plan for their futures and commit to refrain activities that could be detrimental to their success.
