Youth Prevention Services
The school setting can be a place of refuge, healing and resilience-building if students are given the resources needed to address trauma. With funding from the Jackson County Children’s Service Fund, Comprehensive has successfully partnered with our area school districts in Eastern Jackson County to provide elementary, middle, and high school students with the tools they need to recognize their emotions and how it affects their behavior. The goal of preventative services is to make students feel safe and ultimately successful at school.
Prevention Specialists implement psycho-educational group curriculum to provide students K-12 with help to address: bullying, teen-dating violence, grief, loss, violence in the home/community, substance use, suicide awareness and prevention, transition to adulthood and develop emotional intelligence.
In addition to groups, Comprehensive offers a unique prevention program – Prevention Utilized for Student Health (PUSH)—more commonly known as Prevention Diversion. The mission of the PUSH program is to help students and school personnel create a culture where mental health stigma is eliminated, and students feel comfortable asking for and receiving help.

The school-based Prevention program is comprised of state certified Prevention Specialists who provide a wide variety of support and services to youth in Eastern Jackson County. Services can include individual intervention sessions, SEL groups, youth court educational sessions, resources for parents and families, teacher education, teacher and school staff consultation, and general prevention education. Services are provided on site at numerous schools in the area, partnered community spaces, in our office, and virtual sessions are available.
