Other Programs
Varsity Athletes Against Substance Abuse (VAASA)
VAASA is a peer leadership program led by high school varsity athletes who pledge to remain alcohol- and drug-free. VAASA members speak to elementary and middle school students to dispel the myth that all athletes drink. They serve as role models by sharing their reasons for choosing to be substance free and describing how they have fun, maintain good grades and participate in sports. VAASA members explain that it is not necessary to drink to be popular or cool. For more information, contact Colleen Judge at cjudge@risas.org

These 12-week discussion groups are designed to enhance adolescents’ ability to apply emotional regulation skills.
