The It's My Life program is an educationally based 12-hour group that is both diversionary and preventative for youth ages 12 to 18. The program was designed to teach and/or enhance a variety of skills that will improve the likelihood that the participants will make better life choices, experience healthier family dynamics, and an improved sense of self-competency. Since family members generally play a key role in the lives of youth referred to the program, at least one parent/legal guardian or alternate parenting-adult is required to attend the sessions with the referred youth. Program curriculum is most appropriate for ages 13-18, although it can be modified for younger youth.
