| Purpose : |
Okanese Youth Lifeskills Program will target approximately 50 First Nation youth, ages 9-18, to reduce their engagement in high-risk behaviour and involvement, or potential involvement, in criminal activities. This crime prevention project will use the Botvin Life Skills Training program, and will be supported by cultural activities. The Botvin Life Skills Training program is a school-based prevention program that targets tobacco, alcohol and drug abuse among youth. It educates youth through knowledge and skill development specifically designed to help youth resist peer pressure, build positive self-image, develop effective problem solving skills, and build healthy relationships.
