Science Based Programs
Science based programs called Model Programs, are those which meet
certain criteria set by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Agency (SAMSHA).  Model Programs are well-implemented,
well-evaluated programs, that have been reviewed by the National
Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP).

At Youth & Family Services we offer a variety of science based
curriculum to suit the needs of the diverse and changing population of
the Upper Perkiomen Valley and it's surrounding communities.  

Below is a description of the programs offered to school districts and
organizations.  If you or someone you know is interested in learning
more about our programs or would like to schedule a presentation
