SASY (Self Assessment Saturdays for Youth)
An educational group that targets young people (12 to 22 years-of-age) who are experimenting with alcohol and/or other drugs, this program consists of two four-hour classes (9am to 1pm) held on two consecutive Saturdays. Trained facilitators help participants assess their level of alcohol and other drug involvement and examine the potential effects of substance use on their lives. Topics covered in this program include:
- Knowing the signs of high risk use and addiction
- Making an assessment of one’s use of alcohol and/or other drugs
- Achieving success through examining values and activities, goals and support
If, at any time during the program, a youth is identified as more harmfully involved with alcohol or other drugs, he/she is referred for further assessment and treatment. Anyone can make a referral to the SASY program (parents, schools, courts, probation, etc.). Groups are age appropriate. The SASY program has been accepted by area courts and schools.
