Youth CAN Program

Youth CAN Coalition

Youth CAN is part of the CDC-funded Drug-Free Communities Program, the nation’s leading effort to mobilize communities to prevent youth substance use. The Coalition addresses risk factors and promotes prevention strategies proven to minimize risk of substance misuse, in particular the use of alcohol and marijuana among youth. West Central Behavioral Health serves as fiscal agent and coalition member of the Youth CAN (Claremont and Newport) Coalition.

Patient Testimonial

I feel like I have my life back. My therapist at WCBH listened and understood me. She helped me get to a place where I can manage things and not feel so hopeless. I didn’t think I would ever feel whole again, but I do.
