Street Smart Program

Street Smart is a youth-focused HIV/AIDS and STD prevention intervention.  The program consists of ten sessions designed to help youth learn safer sexual practices and reduce their substance use.  The program consists of eight two-hour group sessions, one individual counseling session, and one visit to a community-based organization that provides healthcare.

Topics and skills addressed in the group sessions include coping and negotiation skills, assertiveness, problem-solving, identifying and addressing personalized risk behaviors, decision-making and reducing harmful behaviors including drug and alcohol use.

With support from The New York Community Trust, LESHRC is thrilled to begin offering this program beginning May 2011.
