Intervention services are part of the comprehensive continuum of care within Behavioral Health. T hese strategies promote environments and conditions that support behavioral health by reducing risktaking behavior, building assets and resilience, and increasing the ability of individuals to withstand challenge. Service delivery typically occurs in environments or populations having multiple risk factors or with individuals exhibiting precursor signs or symptoms of substance misuse/abuse (e.g. experimentation and use), mental health problems (e.g. numerous symptoms although it is not diagnosable), or medical problems (e.g. borderline cholesterol levels). Intervention targets the signs at symptoms close to onset preventing their escalation to a full- blown problem.
