Substance Abuse Prevention and Control (SAPC)
Introduction
The Substance Abuse Prevention and Control (SAPC) prevention program aims to reduce the use of alcohol and marijuana among the youth in the Koreatown Community. With the increasing rate of substance use within Los Angeles County, our program educates and builds more awareness around the important aspects for the development of youth and young adults.
Services
Our SAPC team works closely with local K-12 schools to provide culturally competent and responsive prevention courses/workshops to increase awareness about alcohol and marijuana usage. Courses/workshops cover fundamental topics such as harmful risk behaviors, healthy communication, and social support in family and social circles. Our program is funded by the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health, Substance Abuse Prevention and Control.

You may be single, married, divorced, or living with a partner. You may live in an apartment or house, as long as you have enough room for the child. No minimum income is required, but you must be able to support yourself. For working parents, appropriate childcare arrangements need to be made. You may be of any race, ethnicity, culture religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
