Prevention Programming

Opioid and Substance Use Prevention is a resource guide developed in conjunction with leading public health agencies to provide substance-use prevention strategies tailored to our Clubs. Organized in sections for working with staff, youth, families and communities, the guide includes ample resources, examples and templates. Programming is implemented through variety of curricula and activities such as BOTVIN, ALA, MAVerick program(music art volleyball)
Youth Support
Services
Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware seeks to build staff capacity in the area of trauma informed care and support our ongoing paradigm shift into becoming a trauma-informed organization at all 40 locations across Delaware’s three counties. With the addition of staffing trained social workers, our offering of mental health services will allow us to support our high-needs youth in dealing with the many Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) they face by providing extensive staff training, offering new mental health-related services directly to our youth, and support for our staff in using trauma informed approaches while working in all aspects with youth and their families. This project aligns with Governor Carney’s Executive Order 24, which was signed in October 2018 and made Delaware a “trauma informed state.”
