"Cutting Edge and Appropriate Youth-Led Prevention for 27 Years!"

SLS has provided "Cutting Edge Prevention Strategies, Youth-Led Chapter Activities, Support, Resources, and Substance Abuse Education" for Michigan Youth since 1982.  The most important thing that SLS has offered Michigan Youth is youth interaction and youth engagement opportunities.

For 27 years, SLS programming/curriculum has been based on Exemplary and Model Programs of the U.S. Department of Education, Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), National Institute for Drug Education (NIDA), Michigan Department of Education, Project Alert, Project Northland, Search Institute 40 Developmental Assets, Botvin's Life Skills, High/Scope Youth Development Training, other researchers and youth development experts.

Botvin was one of the first to prove that skills training is where it starts for prevention. All of SLS trainings, workshops, conferences and events build skills in youth- with youth training youth.  Building skills, such as life skills, is the first step in substance abuse prevention implemented by SLS.
