SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION PROGRAM

In the Fall of the year 2000, we launched the first bi-lingual and
bi-cultural Latino Youth Prevention Program in the State of Georgia.
Since then, we have developed a Latino Youth Prevention Program for
boys and a Latina Youth Prevention Program for girls that we currently
deliver in four counties to over 350 Latino youth. Our programs are
delivered both at the schools we serve after school hours and at our
Norcross office on Saturdays.

Our programs utilize components of Latino Programs developed by the
Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA),
cultural components and an alternative recreational component.

CETPA is dedicated to educating our community about the myths and
realities of substance abuse and the common misunderstanding of
mental illness. We have criss-crossed the state providing free community

program. To schedule your seminar, please contact us at
