Youth & Family Services
Prevention Services
Township Youth & Family Services of Oak Park and River Forest offers a Prevention Services Department that works to underage substance abuse. We provide support through education and raising awareness to many of the physical and mental health challenges facing youth and their families which result from underage alcohol, marijuana, vaping, and other substance abuse. As a way to educate and bring awareness of these issues, we offer many resources and programs within the community.
