MINDeaze

Participants must be referred by Winthrop and Chelsea public schools

MINDeaze is a school-based, community-centered program that offers services and supports to youth between the ages of 8-13 and their families. The program aims to reduce substance use, delinquency and promote academic achievement through an incentive-based, positive youth development model.

MINDeaze is funded by the Department of Public Health (DPH) Bureau of Substance Abuse Services and is located in the Winthrop and Chelsea public schools. The program offers daily support to youth and maintains constant communication with teachers. A primary focus of the model is to increase parent-to-school attachment so students will achieve academic success.

Children and youth enrolled in the program also receive out-of-school support with homework, participate in recreational groups, attend field trips, and meet once a week with a MINDeaze mentor. The program operates year round. Families also receive tailored services determined by the family with the support of the case manager through home visits.

The program is voluntary, lasts up to two years and is free to families who qualify.
