Hartford
Youth Project
The Hartford Youth Project works with adolescents between the ages of 10 to 17
who struggle with substance abuse problems. The project collaborates with schools,
detention centers, child protective services, youth on probation, children’s
mental health system and alternative schools. We also focus on youth in shelters
or those who are homeless. The project provides early identification of youth
in need of substance abuse treatment; links to programs; education to parents,
community leaders, schools about substance abuse among teens and information
about new treatment approaches.
