The Positive Adolescent Social Skills program is an early intervention program.
These services are designed to teach adolescents basic skills that can help them to take more positive control of their lives. The focus of this course is to teach youth that they have the ability to make decisions for themselves and to say no to negative peer pressure. It provides support and education to the parent/guardian of the youth. The program is designed for those who are at risk of entering or are first offenders in the juvenile justice system.

Referral Process: Moore Youth and Family Services may receive the referral from Municipal Court, the Office of Juvenile Affairs, the school system or through self-referral. Once the referral is received, an appointment will be made with the youth and their parent/legal guardian to ensure appropriate program service delivery. However, youth can also enroll in this program without a referral from the court.

Group Sessions: Youth and parents/guardians will attend a minimum of twelve (12) hours of classes. These hours will be done in the three times a week in the evening for two-hour sessions over a period of two weeks. Monday through Wednesdays from 6p.m.-8p.m. or on 2 consecutive Saturdays from 9-4.
The youth and parents/guardians will spend part of the sessions together and some apart.

Certificate of Completion: A "Certificate of Completion" is given to each youth and their parent/guardian who satisfactorily completes the program. 

Follow-up Report: A follow-up report on each program participant will be sent to the referral source.

 There is no charge for these services.
