THESE EFFORTS REACH A BROAD POPULATION REGARDLESS OF RISK LEVEL-TO BUILD PROTECTIVE FACTORS AND REDUCE EARLY RISK FOR SUBSTANCE USE AND OTHER HARMFUL BEHAVIORS. THROUGH CLASSROOM-BASED EDUCATION, COMMUNITY EVENTS, AND OUTREACH CAMPAIGNS, SOOAR INCREASES AWARENESS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF UNDERAGE DRINKING, TOBACCO USE, AND DRUG MISUSE WHILE PROMOTING POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, DECISION-MAKING SKILLS, AND RESILIENCE. KEY ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: O COMMUNITY EDUCATION & OUTREACH: HOSTING COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS AND YOUTH EVENTS TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT PREVENTION AND WELLNESS.

O PARENT & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: FACILITATING CONVERSATIONS AND TRAINING SESSIONS FOR PARENTS, CAREGIVERS, AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS ON PREVENTION STRATEGIES, COMMUNICATION SKILLS, AND EARLY WARNING SIGNS OF SUBSTANCE USE. SOOAR'S SELECTIVE PREVENTION STRATEGIES ARE DESIGNED FOR YOUTH WHO EXHIBIT HIGHER-THAN-AVERAGE RISK FACTORS-SUCH AS EXPOSURE TO ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (ACES), FAMILY SUBSTANCE USE, TRAUMA, OR ENVIRONMENTS WITH LIMITED PROTECTIVE SUPPORT BUT WHO ARE NOT YET SHOWING SIGNS OF DEPENDENCY OR ADDICTION. HELP IS DOWN THE HALL - STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SAP): THIS EVIDENCE-INFORMED SCHOOL-BASED PREVENTION AND EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM ADDRESSES ACADEMIC, BEHAVIORAL, AND EMOTIONAL CHALLENGES THAT INTERFERE WITH STUDENT SUCCESS.

THROUGH A COMBINATION OF UNIVERSAL AND SELECTIVE PREVENTION EFFORTS, SOOAR STRENGTHENS COMMUNITY PROTECTIVE FACTORS, ENHANCES YOUTH RESILIENCE, AND ENSURES EQUITABLE ACCESS TO PREVENTION RESOURCES FOR ALL POPULATIONS AT RISK. SOOAR RISK REDUCTION SERVICES SOOAR'S RISK REDUCTION PROGRAM OPERATES ON THE BELIEF THAT EVERY LIFE HAS VALUE AND THAT HEALTH AND SAFETY SHOULD NEVER DEPEND ON ONE'S CIRCUMSTANCES OR CHOICES. OUR UNIVERSAL STRATEGIES ARE FOCUSED ON REDUCING THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SUBSTANCE USE, PREVENTING OVERDOSE DEATHS, AND INCREASING ACCESS TO HEALTH EDUCATION AND RESOURCES FOR INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES ACROSS OUT-WAYNE COUNTY.

THESE STRATEGIES EMPHASIZE COMPASSION, SAFETY, AND CONNECTION-MEETING PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE AND SUPPORTING THEIR JOURNEY TOWARD HEALTH AND STABILITY. SOOAR'S SELECTIVE RISK REDUCTION SERVICES TARGET INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES AT HIGHER RISK FOR OVERDOSE, INFECTIOUS DISEASE TRANSMISSION (HIV/HCV), AND OTHER SUBSTANCE-RELATED HARMS.

OVERDOSE PREVENTION & RESPONSE TRAINING: SOOAR PROVIDES EDUCATION AND HANDS-ON TRAINING FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, FIRST RESPONDERS, AND ORGANIZATIONS ON OVERDOSE RECOGNITION AND RESPONSE, NALOXONE ADMINISTRATION, AND THE PRINCIPLES OF RISK REDUCTION. HEALTH & SUPPORT REFERRALS: PARTICIPANTS ARE CONNECTED TO LOCAL RESOURCES SUCH AS MEDICAL CARE, MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, HIV/HCV TESTING, HOUSING, AND RECOVERY SUPPORT.
