School-based Prevention/ Treatment:
In the spring of 2000, FGC began a youth initiative to serve at risk adolescents
and pre-adolescents.
Hundreds of students have been served through creative in-school programming
at Frederic Von Schiller Elementary School, Kelvyn Park High School (Chicago)
and Metro-Prep School (Arlington Heights).
Adolescent services are integrated into the school’s daily programming.
Utilizing continuous on-site collaboration with school leaders and staff,
FGC’s clinical staff has provides immediate on-site assessment, prevention
and treatment services for those youth most at risk for substance abuse. Community
education is a priority with educational events conducted in close collaboration
with community leaders, educators, and parents.
