Bacon Street’s school- and community-based prevention programs help educate young men and women about the risks and realities of drug, alcohol and nicotine use; teach them how to make healthy choices; and give them the tools to show resilience in the midst of stress and trauma.

At Bacon Street, we focus on evidence-based family, group, and individual prevention strategies. Our services promote the conditions under which people can confront situations in their lives in constructive and healthy ways without the destructive response of substance abuse.
