The Face 2 Face Program is a proactive, educational program that partners with school districts throughout WNY. The program was piloted in the 2008-2009 school year at half a dozen schools and through word of mouth; requests for participation in Face 2 Face came in rapidly. The goal of the program is to reach students and parents in the earliest stages of use in order to alter their decision making so that substance abuse treatment is not necessary in their future.

What is the Face 2 Face Program?

Speaking Panels
Alumni, alumni parents, and current clients share their personal stories of addiction to demonstrate the real life consequences of negative choices related to substance use.

Educational Seminars
Counselors and addiction experts provide in-services for educators on the current trends, signs, and symptoms of substance abuse.

Early Interventions (Click for more information)
Students identified as being “at risk” by educators, parents, or doctors are provided with an opportunity for a private, one time session on the campus with their parent(s), a counselor, and peers in treatment.  Parents are provided with educational materials, and referrals to treatment services are made as necessary.

While Kids Escaping Drugs remains committed to adolescent drug and alcohol treatment, we are also dedicated to be a prevention partner in our community. Partnering with our schools to educate parents and children, Face 2 Face  is another stepping stone on the path to a drug free Western New York.
