Texas Health and Human Services Commission - Youth Programs

Youth prevention (YP) programs empower young people to meet life’s challenges and transition into adulthood by partnering with their families and communities to promote healthy environments and behaviors.

YP programs use an evidence-based approach endorsed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. These programs are delivered before the onset of a substance use disorder and are intended to prevent or reduce the risk of developing a health problem.
