Substance Use Prevention-FOUNDATIONS: Grades 4-5
Substance Use Prevention - FOUNDATIONS
Substance Use Prevention – FOUNDATIONS is the first program in our substance use prevention continuum and starts with the basics. We outline different types of substances including alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, vaping and medicines and their impact on the brain and body. Students will begin learning refusal and coping skills.
The program is technology infused with a balance of small group work, e-learning and instructor lead discussions for continual student engagement.
This is a 90-minute program.
