| The CETPA Prevention Programs provide prevention efforts to the Latino community in Georgia and the knowledge about alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, and and families and to help them make healthier choices in order to avoid the pitfalls of the many risks present today in their lives. CETPA provides prevention efforts targeted to Latino youth whose risk of developing substance abuse or other dangerous behaviors is significantly higher than others by virtue of belonging to that subgroup. We accomplish this through community workshops, educational fairs and dissemination of information. CETPA provides prevention efforts through after-school programs targeted to Latino youth. We provide gender-appropriate programs: ¡Soy Unica, Soy Latina! for girls and ¡Niño Sano, Hombre Fuerte! for boys. Our programs deliver our own bilingual curriculum in combination with The Mendez Foundation curriculum “Too Good For Drugs and Violence”. In addition we teach alternative activities such as dance, music and soccer. We also provide prevention summer camps providing healthy alternatives for Latino youth and their families. CETPA’s Latino Youth Prevention Program received the 2003 Exemplary Award from the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in Washington D.C. as a Promising Program. Currently CETPA is preparing to submit this program to the National Registry of Effective Programs and Practices (NREPP). |
