Helping Today’s Youth Become Tomorrow’s Leaders.

In 2002 Seeking Answers was organized and added to the programs provided by the Perry County Community Task Force.  It gives support and assistance to 16-21 year old youth who are “Seeking Answers” to substance use issues.  This group not only provides support to the individuals involved, but also causes them to answer questions which may help them think twice before using substances again.  Topics include:

                  Addiction                                    Stress Management

                Effects on the Body                           Taking Responsibility

  Self-Esteem                                       Peer Pressure
                       
               Goal Setting                       Making Choices/Problem Solving
                         
             Change Plan                                  Relapse Prevention Plan
                        
         Guest Speakers                              Alternative Lifestyles
 

Youth are provided with Perry Park Center passes to assist them with finding alternative behaviors to substance use.  Many youth are court mandated to attend the Seeking Answers Program.  Others attend at their parents' request, because of a friend who is attending, or just because they feel they need the support the program provides.  Substance Abuse and Mental Health Counselors are contracted with for their professional assistance.
