Early Risers: Skills for Success

Variety of Behavioral Health Settings

A multicomponent, developmentally focused, competency-enhancement program that targets elementary school students (6-12 years old) who are at high risk for early development of conduct problems, including substance use and their parents. This program is based on the premise that early, comprehensive and sustained intervention is necessary to target multiple risk and protective factors. It uses integrated child-, school-, and family-focused interventions to move high-risk children onto a more adaptive developmental pathway.
