Prevention
The aim of prevention services is to promote strengths, reduce the influence of risk factors, and support an individual's own sense of competency. In this way, one's skills and abilities are improved, attitudes are changed, and behavior is enhanced, thereby reducing the incidence of violence, intellectual disability and substance abuse.
