Elevate

Helping teens navigate substance use concerns and school difficulties, Elevate delivers youth intervention, prevention education, and peer support through their Jackson office and community programs. Elevate “U” works with adolescents experiencing alcohol or drug-related concerns, attendance difficulties, and other behavioral challenges. Teen Intervene uses individual sessions to explore substance use patterns, with an optional family session, while Check & Connect pairs students with mentors who monitor school engagement and help address attendance barriers.

Build Skills Through Prevention

Their prevention programs teach students how to assess risks, manage pressure, and make informed choices. PreVenture uses four weekly, personality-focused workshops to address academic stress, peer pressure, and interpersonal challenges. Prime for Life explores beliefs and behaviors surrounding alcohol and drug use, while Too Good for Drugs teaches emotional awareness and responsible decision-making. Through Peers 4 Peers, high school students in grades 10-12 lead peer education and encourage substance-free activities within their school communities.

Find Support Through Connection

At their Jackson office, Elevate hosts WRAP(PED) in Hope, a weekly peer support group that meets Tuesdays from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Trained specialists draw on lived experience and the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) approach to help participants identify triggers, prepare responses to difficult emotions, and build connections through shared experiences. Elevate also offers individual peer support and helps individuals locate outside addiction treatment services and community resources when additional assistance is needed.
