Prevention Programs : Elementary

Helping young people make healthy choices every day.

In K-5, we rarely talk about alcohol and drugs. Instead, we build life skills, like how to be a good friend, manage uncomfortable feelings, and solve problems peacefully. Our lessons are fun, engaging, and age appropriate.

Middle School

Middle school is a battlefield. Our lessons recognize the landmines that middle schoolers encounter each day and teach them how to navigate things like peer influence, setting/achieving goals, alcohol, and drugs in a healthy way.

High School

Grades 9 — 12

High school health teachers call on us to deliver scientific, fact-based drug information for their classes. We don’t preach, judge, or exaggerate; instead we equip teenagers with the knowledge so that they can make informed choices.
