The WHEEL
Council specializes in Substance Abuse Prevention Programs and
HIV Prevention Services for Teens! We work to keep kids off
drugs and away from risky sexual activities. We use
"Storytelling for Empowerment" to help relate real stories to
kids to show them how risky behaviors can effect their lives!

Storytelling for Empowerment Program
Our vision is to create programs that merge
traditional cultural knowledge with scientific research to
facilitate healthy life choices.
Our mission
is to prevent drug and alcohol use and other destructive behaviors
in young people by combining storytelling, the arts, and cultural
empowerment with scientific research.
The philosophy of this project is to teach values and
a healthy sense of self through storytelling and cultural empowerment.
This project has contributed to the field of prevention by documenting
that youth can gain problem solving skills and use fewer drugs after working
with our curriculum.
