Substance Abuse Prevention

Lance Michell

I am Lance Mitchell, the Prevention Intervention Youth Specialist/School Social worker. Educating the faculty, students, and parents on the impact (academically, socially, emotionally, etc.,) of mood-altering chemical usage is one of many areas I address at Brighton High School. Included in this supportive role, I assist students and parents in addressing concerns regarding substance abuse and disorder. I can be contacted at 242-5000, extension 4535 and or lance_mitchell@bcsd.org.
