The Program arises from a Municipal Government Family Perspective Public Policy whose objective is to prevent violence in adolescents and the main risks in the stage of development in which they are. By these risks we refer to violence, pregnancy, alcohol an other drugs use and abuse, malnutrition, cardiovascular risk and suicide. This objective is achieved through the development of coping skills and assertive physical and emotional health behaviors, promoting decision-making in the construction of a full and meaningful life plan for adolescents and their families.
