Mexican American Cultural Sessions

The Monterey County Health Department has adapted the cultural activities in the Youth Empowerment Solutions Curriculum to meet the needs of the Mexican American youth. The Health Department implemented YES in Salinas, CA as part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention STRYVE Program.

These sessions are intended to be used in conjunction with the Youth Empowerment Solutions Curriculum, Second Edition.
