PROGRAMS: Alcohol and Other Drugs
How do you keep kids from trying alcohol or other drugs? How do you stop anyone once they’ve started? At Compass Mark, we offer a variety of programs designed to tackle both issues. With innovative approaches to creating strong, confident personalities and smart decision-makers. And the expertise to help those who’ve lost their way get back on a better path.
Student Skills for Life
Student Skills for Life is a group educational experience which serves as:
- intervention for youth experimenting with alcohol or other drugs;
- prevention for any adolescent or college-age population.
The program provides experiential life skills training, and may include drug & alcohol assessments and parenting classes when appropriate.

Policy Violation Assessment
Our assessors evaluate the degree of involvement in alcohol or other drug use by adolescents who may have violated school policy, underage drinking laws, parental rules or other indicators of substance use. The BASICS program is used for brief alcohol screening and intervention for college students.
SkillQuest
The SkillQuest program consists of six curriculum topics developed to provide students in grades 4- 6 with skills to help them become successful, happy and responsible members of their communities. The six curriculum topics are: Bully Busting, Anger Alert, Stressed Out, Transitions, Positive Choices and Cultural Diversity/Tolerance.
Elementary Youth Support Program (EYSP)
EYSP is a school-based, small-group early intervention/prevention program for students in grades K-5 at risk for substance abuse and other health-damaging behaviors. EYSP is in the process of becoming an evidence-based program.
Strengthening Families
The Strengthening Families program helps families learn how to communicate with each other and improve the relationships between parents and teens. The first hour of each session the parents and teens meet separately with their group leaders. During the second hour, everyone comes together to participate in fun activities that reinforce the ideas and skills learned in the individual sessions.
Student Assistance Program (SAP)
Student Assistance Programs (SAP) are designed to assist school personnel in identifying substance abuse and mental health issues which pose a barrier to a student’s success and to then implement a plan to help the student overcome those barriers.
