What is the Community Early Intervention (CEI) Program?
Community Early Intervention (CEI) is a program that addresses concerns related to tobacco, vaping, and other drug-related offenses in youth. This takes place in two separate sessions. A parent/guardian is required to attend both sessions with their youth.
1st Session- Education
- 2-hour session that provides education related to substance use and other high-risk activities, and introduces healthy coping skills.
2nd Session- Mediation
- 2-hour session that assists the family in addressing current issues, increasing healthy decision-making skills, and improving family communication. Mediation concludes by creating a written agreement that aids the youth/family in progressing towards their determined goals.
There is a cost of $50.00 (or $40.00 with proof of Medicaid Insurance).
Education topics can include:
- Marijuana/cannabis use
- Vaping or using nicotine products
- Gaming or gambling that is causing problems
- Skills to help cope with stress, grief, or traumas that are contributing to behavioral health concerns
Who can attend the CEI Program?
Referrals can be self-made by the family or made by schools, juvenile court, or other youth-serving organizations. The intended audience for this program is any youth who has shown early signs of substance use or behavior or mood changes that have resulted in negative outcomes. A parent/guardian is required to attend both sessions with their youth.
