An Ounce of Prevention
“I learned that I need to respect myself and not do anything to hurt my body or mind.”
Emma, age 13
In order to stop drug and alcohol abuse before it even begins, Santa Maria offers a prevention program open to the community, local schools, and community agencies.
Through a program called Rainbow Days, Santa Maria provides a 10 week course to area youth that focuses on self esteem, good choices, and anti drugs use. We also provide an anti-smoking and anti- drug presentation for students as well as adults.
