AIDS / HIV Education & Prevention
Program
This program develops and implements education and prevention activities
for use with at-risk populations, such as incarcerated individuals, sexually
active adults and youth, substance users, and youth outside mainstream
education. Activities include educational presentations, confidential
testing and counseling, and outreach services.
Alcohol & Drug Prevention Programs
The Alcohol & Drug Prevention Program includes the following services:
community educational programs and trainings; drug-free workplace education
and technical support to businesses, school districts, and health agencies;
participation on school-site student assistance boards and health committees;
coordination of awareness campaigns; and the reduction of the sale and
advertising of alcohol products to minors.
Court Programs
El Dorado County Alcohol and Drug Programs coordinates with other agencies in the county to offer numerous court programs.
Friday Night Live/Club Live
This program supports youth in being free of alcohol, tobacco, and other
drugs through increasing knowledge and building assets among teens. Staff
provides technical assistance and leadership to high schools and middle
schools in establishing Friday Night Life/Club Live on campus.
Teen Youth Court
Teen Youth Court is a diversion program of the juvenile court, where juvenile
offenders choose to be judged and sentenced by their peers after admitting
to committing offenses. The program is a collaborative effort between
Public Health, the Probation Department, District Attorney,
Sheriffs Department, and Superior Court. Students recruited from high
schools serve as jurors, prosecutors, defense attorneys, bailiffs, and
court clerks. Adult attorneys from the community serve as mentors to the
youth attorneys, and a Superior Court Judge presides over the hearings.
Sentences recommended by the juries include supportive and punitive measures.
