They must also possess at least one protective factor shown to decrease the likelihood of using substances including cooperative attitude, low levels of defensiveness, and emotionally supportive family or other adults.

Participants are recommended for this program by school teachers or guidance counselors.

This program is specifically designed for this selected population to provide them with the added education and skill development they need.
