The Prevention Council has worked for more than 30 years to give young people the skills to choose healthy behaviors, provide families with the tools to foster positive child development, help communities build family-friendly environments, and help schools build supportive climates for students. The Prevention Council staff work in a wide range of venues – from schools and summer camps to courts and family homes – to provide prevention services, including program development and community-based initiatives, that help strengthen the messages we deliver to Saratoga County youth.

SAFE SPRING
Safe Spring is our annual conference for Youth Action Groups in Saratoga County hosted at Skidmore University. The goal of the conference is to motivate and prepare student leaders to actively engage their peers in effective local prevention initiatives centered around prom, graduation and other spring social events. This year there was also a focus on social media and how it can hurt or help you. We had an awesome turn out for Safe Spring on March 17, 2016! Students participated in workshops and left with banners and ideas for their school. Thank you to all those who participated.
Thank you Saratoga County Stop-DWI for making this event possible.
