Prevention Team

We guide students in the Rock Island/Milan School District toward making healthy choices and building a strong future. Our team provides engaging, real world education to prevent substance abuse and teen pregnancy, giving students the knowledge and skills they need to grow and thrive.

Our specialists don’t just educate—they also connect students with vital local resources for additional support, including:

  • Alcohol & Drug Counseling – Access to recovery programs and substance abuse prevention services.

  • Mental Health Treatment – Assistance in finding counseling for anxiety, depression, and emotional well-being.

  • Health & Wellness Services – Resources for personal growth, resilience, and stress management.

If you or someone you know needs support, we can help connect you with the right resources.
