Focus Areas
Step Up Naugy is a Local Prevention Council, a state designated program seeking to improve outcomes for youth in local areas. The ultimate goal of a prevention council is to promote healthy behaviors for young people and work to change the likelihood of maladaptive behaviors.
There are seven strategies for community change that are evidence-based and data-driven, guiding Step Up Naugy's work. In addition to primary prevention, Step Up Naugy promotes harm reduction and recovery resources for the greater Naugatuck community.
