Program or Strategy Description
Early Risers "Skills for Success" is a multi-component, developmentally focused, competency-enhancement program that targets 6- to 12- year-old elementary school students who are at high risk for early development of conduct problems, including substance use. Early Risers is based on the premise that early, comprehensive, and sustained intervention is necessary to target multiple risk and protective factors. The program uses integrated child-, school-, and family-focused interventions to move high-risk children onto a more adaptive developmental pathway.
