Prevention Programs
ACW’s prevention efforts focus on teens and young adults. We offer:
- L’BOC (Love Being a Woman of Consciousness), which provides drug-free social activities and interactive prevention education to women age 18 and over who are seeking substance abuse prevention support activities.
- New Choices provides a six month five-day-a-week alcohol/drug prevention services to adolescent women ages 12-19.
- RADAR (Reducing Alcohol Distribution to Adolescents by Retailers), which trains youth to educate retailers about laws prohibiting the sale of alcohol to minors, mobilizes communities to prevent the licensing of liquor stores in low-income areas, and conducts sting operations with law enforcement and ACW prevention staff.
