Strategies

Match disadvantaged or at-risk youth with volunteer mentors in school or community settings

Use mass media campaigns to persuade individuals to avoid drinking and driving or to prevent others from doing so; campaigns often focus on the negative consequences of alcohol-impaired driving

Support home visits that teach parents about early childhood development and effective parenting strategies, with child development screenings, parental meetings, and links to community resources

Deliver a curriculum-based program that helps all students learn to recognize warning signs of suicide in themselves and others in a school setting
