• Statement of the Problem• Smart Choice focus is prevention structured to
address factors that attribute to youth undisciplined behaviors, lack of positive self-image, absence of positive role models. Youth strengths, needs/issues will be defined during prescreening contacts with parents/guardians and youth. Group sessions will help in identifying appropriate positive behaviors and build on youth strengths. Youths needing intensive counseling will be referred to a Mental Health Provider.

Smart Choice Outreach Center Inc.
Motto
Feeding Minds and Bodies
“Ten years from now I hope to have established an educational/recreational teen center in Harnett County. Our teens are crying out for help and the evil forcers are trying to steal, kill and destroy our youth. If I can save one child at a time then I feel as though my mission and goals are not in vain.”
– Dorothy Spears McLeod
