DFYIT incorporates the Communities That Care science-based prevention model (Hawkins and Catalano 1992) as its philosophical framework. It is a social development strategy that promotes the protective factors against drugs, alcohol and other unhealthy behaviors. This is accomplished by helping to create an environment for our youth that will promote healthy lifestyles, strengthen bonds with school, family and community and nurture the individual characteristics of DFYIT's kids.
