Established in 1991, the SHIELDS for Families Heros & Sheros Youth Development Program is a prevention, early intervention, and mental health program for children and adolescents. Heros & Sheros addresses the high risk of alcohol and drug use with the children of parents with substance use disorders, as well as other problems related to their healthy development, by helping children adjust at home and in school, stabilizing family interactions, and empowering youth with skills that prepare them for college and adulthood.
