Transforming Youth Life and Health Outcomes!
About YLAP
The Youth Life Ambassador Program (YLAP)™ will offer Pinellas County's youth novel and next generation human development supports that assist youth, families, and community stakeholders with building their capacities to envision, establish, and sustain a holistic culture of health that promotes substance use prevention and mental health prevention strategies. The YLAP's program strategy and system design seeks to introduce a truly comprehensive response to substance use and misuse within Pinellas County, which will be powered and implemented by informed youth, families, and communities.
Prevention Focus
Prevention Partners work to educate and support individuals and communities to prevent the use and misuse of drugs and the development of substance use disorders. Substance use and mental disorders can make daily activities difficult and impair a person’s ability to work, interact with family, and fulfill other major life functions. Because mental and substance use disorders are among the top conditions that cause disability in the United State, preventing mental and/or substance use disorders or co-occurring disorders and related problems is critical to behavioral and physical health. Prevention and early intervention strategies can reduce the negative impact of substance use and mental disorders in America’s communities.
