About Us

Our award-winning programs have been recognized for over 20 years as Evidence Based Prevention (EBP) programs and are both recognized by Substance Abuse Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA) and The U.S. Department of Education.

RY Inc. has been implemented in all 50 States as well as internationally (e.g., in Canada, Germany, Malaysia, Russia, and Spain) and has reached hundreds of thousands of youth. The intervention model continues to be implemented in an estimated 3,000 settings annually. Several States, including California, Maine, Indiana, North Carolina, North Dakota, New York, Texas, and others have adopted both RY and CAST as evidence-based programs, recommending it to mental health, youth-serving agencies, school districts, and faith-based partners.

We are confident that together we can make significant gains in assisting youth to succeed in school and in life.
