PRIME FOR LIFE
A JUDGEMENT-FREE PATH TO AWARENESS, PREVENTION AND GROWTH
Prime for Life is an evidence-based prevention and intervention program offered through Catholic Human Services, designed to help individuals understand the risks associated with alcohol and drug use. Whether you're here due to a legal requirement or seeking personal growth, Prime for Life offers a respectful, non-judgmental space for self-reflection and learning.
