Successful Alliance For Educating Talented Youth

9:00am – 5:00pm

The Successful Alliance for Educating Talented Youth (SAFETY) was developed to address the needs of youth and families in Detroit. The SAFETY Program is a Diversion/Prevention program for the City of Detroit youth and Metropolitan Detroit youth, and their families, focusing on early intervention, and referral to treatment and prevention services as needed.

The NCADD SAFETY Program believes that a key element to effective programming is a mechanism for comprehensive assessment of a juvenile when he or she first enters the program to determine any risk to oneself or the community, and the appropriate interventions and measures. The SAFETY Program provides immediate support to the youth and their families with our Assessment Center. Youth and their families receive case management and referral services, through on-site staff. The SAFETY Staff have the capability of being linked to a locally organized system of services that include: individual and family counseling, substance abuse testing, substance abuse treatment programs, emergency psychiatric hospitalization, community-based services, crisis shelters, intervention services, mental health services, and positive use of leisure time activities. The NCADD SAFETY program uses evidence-based prevention programs of Positive Action, and the State of Michigan Common Core Standards.
