Some children and teens face emotional, behavioral, or social challenges that need extra support. When that happens, they shouldn’t have to handle it alone. CGFS works closely with local schools to provide support that helps students build skills, stay confident, and handle problems early. By being part of the school community, we can spot challenges early and help keep small struggles from turning into bigger ones.   

We Can Support Schools With:

  • Offering support in meetings with school staff, parents and students
  • Providing school-based prevention services
  • Providing professional development trainings for school staff on various topics

School-based Prevention Services

  • LifeSkills® - Substance use prevention education for grades 6-12
    • LifeSkills is a school-based prevention program aimed at reducing the risks of alcohol, tobacco and drug abuse as well as violence. It targets social and psychological factors and gives school staff and students the confidence and skills to manage challenging situations.
      • Can meet the needs of Ohio House Bill 123  
  • Too Good for Violence and Too Good for Drugs - Violence and/or Substance Use prevention for grades K-12
    • Too Good is a K-12 evidence-based substance use and violence prevention intervention designed to build students’ 
      skills to resist problem behaviors. It increases students’ ability to set reachable goals, make responsible decisions, identify 
      and manage emotions, and effectively communicate. Too Good programs are designed to align with frameworks for Response to Intervention (RTI) or Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support (PBIS).
