Youth Alcohol and Substance Use Prevention (YA-SUP!) aims to reduce and prevent underage drinking, prevent methamphetamine use among all age groups, and strive to better serve veterans and families of veterans within CDH communities using evidence-based practices.
YA-SUP! supports opportunities through the funding of community partners so they may implement evidence-based curriculum, after-school activities, and other programs focused on substance use prevention, awareness, and training.
YA-SUP! community partners include:
- The Boise County, Garden Valley and Horseshoe Bend school districts
- Idaho Drug Free Youth (IDFY)
- Community Coalitions of Idaho
- Meridian Anti-Drug Coalition
- Boise County Community Justice
- Valley County Opioid Response Project (VCORP)
- Elmore County Health Coalition (ECHC)
Taking medications without a doctor’s prescription or misusing someone else’s prescription is illegal and dangerous. Learn more here.
