· Family therapy

· Peer support groups

· School-based prevention programs | Effects of substance use and abuse magnitude

· Improved family communication

· Coping improvements | Omission of substance use

· Strong family support network

· More learning outcomes as well as social performance (Nawi et al. 2021).

· Potential courses of patterned substance use that are less dangerous than possible courses of use that are hazardous: Lower risk of relapse | | higher risk of relapse: Continuity of care following Intervention | Absence of aftercare following Intervention: restricted access to community resources. | Aftercare programs

· Ongoing mentoring

· Availability & utilization of community facilities (Youth centers, helpline service) | Improvement in aftercare programs' attendance rates

· Follow-up care | Continued healing

· Long-term behavioral change

· Freedom from mental disorder symptoms | | Poor academic attendance | Academic encouragement and enrolment | Decrease in academic performance due to substances, minimal school attendance | School enrollment and engagement goals

· Academic counseling | Educational activities

· The performance of students in academics | – Success in academics for longer durations the chance of completing education has a higher probability than the other demographic variables.

This model is a practice-level approach that is based on the role of the many factors that make a practice at the level of the adolescent who is abusing substances. According to Luck, Doucet, & Luke (2020), the following treatment approaches: cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), family therapy, and peer support are provided, taking into account the adolescents' needs. Family therapy deals with family relationships, school-based programs, and peer support offer positive social modeling and learning.

Controlling, the aims for this short-term intervention are to enhance adolescents’ self-identification of substance use or abuse and support children’s families for better communication and more positive relationships within the family. At first these modifications assist in establishing essential processes for sustained recuperation. Treatment goals are oriented towards the patient wanting to stay clean, increasing positive social interaction, and increasing the patient’s academic performance, with the end goal of learning and helping the patient be as functional as possible. One of the components of the intervention is aftercare services that are aimed to avoid the persons’ relapse. When all these treatments are combined with further counseling and contacts with other community support service, they ensure that such an adolescent is put on the right track towards a better healthy future.

Mental Health Programs for Adolescent Populations in Florida

The proposed program aims at preparing professionals to deliver optimal standard of mental healthcare for adolescents in Florida. This will help in the early detection, prevention, and management of mental health disorders among youths aged between 12 and 18 years. Consequently, the program will consist of such aspects as individual and group counseling, family support services as well as school based interventions so as to adequately deal with mental health which affects adolescents in the Florida region.

Criteria for enrollment in the program will include early onset of symptoms, low socio-economic status, and family history of mental disorder. For the youths, who experience substantial stressors in their everyday life such as academic stress, social maladaptation, or family problems, it will be applied. In particular, these groups are targeted because early intervention is critical to prevent the mental conditions from evolving into more severe disorders in adulthood (Mitchell et al., 2019).

As a way of strengthening the credibility of the overall information in advocating for this program, two main approaches would be adopted. First, telephone and web-based surveys could be conducted in Florida among adolescents, parents, and school staff to identify a quantity of youths with mental health problems and the extent to which they can gain necessary services (Wang et al., 2023).

Secondly, conducting focus group interviews with mental healthcare providers who have prior experience dealing with adolescents would provide diverse, qualitative data. Such sessions would focus on issues and programs relating to the youths in Florida, their experiences and the efficiency of the existing programs, and possibly efficiency enhancement mechanisms (Mitchell et al., 2019). By combining the perspectives of those directly affected (adolescents and their families) with the expertise of professionals in the field, a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the mental health landscape for Florida's adolescent population can be achieved, providing a solid foundation for the proposed program's development and implementation.
