About Citrus Early Intervention and Prevention Services

The Citrus County Hi-Five Program utilizes the Too Good for Drugs curriculum targeting sixth grade students.

• The “Too Good for Drugs” program is a school based prevention program that builds on students’ resiliency by teaching them how to be socially competent and autonomous problem solvers.  This program focuses on developing personal and interpersonal skills to resist peer pressures, goal setting, decision making, bonding with others, having respect for self and others, managing emotions, effective communication, and social interactions.
• The “Small Group Interventions” targets youth at higher risk for school failure, juvenile delinquency, substance use and abuse using the Too Good for Drugs & Violence program.  Activities are designed to augment school-based prevention programs with fun and engaging opportunities to learn and practice prevention skills.  Parents are also invited to participate through the use of Home Workouts. 
• Teacher Training and Family Outreach is offered to program schools and program families.
