Adolescence and young adulthood are unparalleled periods of development, growth, and opportunity. The Youth Collaborative is dedicated to fostering healthy development and positively impacting the community. We offer clinical services, research opportunities, and education programs focused on preventing and addressing youth substance use, while also encouraging young people to pursue careers in science and discovery.
