Youth And Families

UWNC continues to fund preventive measures such as mentoring, community service and recreational programs for youth, and intervention measures such as counceling and recovery programs for families and individuals struggling with consequences of substance abuse. This includes violence intervention, disabilities resulting from substance abuse and support for families that, through no faults of their own, are impacted by substance abuse.
