Education Classes

ADOLESCENT CHEMICAL HEALTH EDUCATION (Albert Lea only)

This class focuses on prevention and intervention and is available to youth seeking more information on the harmful effects of alcohol, marijuana and nicotine.  Referrals can be made by probation, social workers and concerned parents.  Upon completion of this class, participants will be able to:

  • Identify the effects of alcohol, marijuana, and tobacco use
  • Learn healthy ways to reduce or quit current use of alcohol, drug, and/or tobacco use
  • Identify positive alternatives to alcohol and drug use

A parent or guardian must accompany the adolescent to the first class session in order to:

  • Gain resources to help communicate with their child
  • Network with other concerned parents in the community

The class is typically held on four consecutive Mondays from 3:30 to 5 p.m. during a designated month. The number of participants registered dictates how frequently the class is held, either every month or quarterly.
