PreVenture focuses on at-risk youth and introduces motivational pathways and coping skills based on the individual's personality profile. Youth fill out a brief personality questionnaire that aligns them with the personality style most relevant to them. They then learn useful coping skills, set long term goals, and channel their personality toward achieving them. Unlike most universal programs that address normative attitudes around mental health and substance misuse, PreVenture predicts teenage behavior and provides a bridge between youth and mental wellbeing.
