Change Direction & Healthy Decision Making Classes
Community Partnership offers two education opportunities for persons who are in need of learning healthy decision making and refusal skills towards alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. It is intended that participants will be able to take the knowledge and skills they have learned and practiced in these classes, and use them as they move forward in their lives making healthy choices. Change Direction is a class offered to adults and youth ages 17+.
Offered on the 2nd Saturday of every other month from 8:30am-11:30am. Healthy Decision Making is a class that is offered to youth ages 14–17.
Offered on the 3rd Saturday of each month from 8:30am-11:30am.
These classes are located at 38460 Lincoln Trail, North Branch, MN - Room 204A (upstairs meeting room in Trinity Lutheran School).
It is understood that the participants in these classes are not chemically dependent and/or in-need of treatment; rather, they have made some unhealthy choices up to this point and with education and intervention, they should have the tools to make better choices in the future.
