Substance Use Prevention-INFLUENCERS: Grades 6-7

Substance Use Prevention-Influencers

The second program in our substance use prevention continuum, INFLUENCERS , students learn about the short and long-term risks associated with substance use, including alcohol, marijuana, and vaping, as well as the safe use of prescription medications and the potentially lethal dangers of taking a pill that did not come from a licensed pharmacy. The influencers and normalization of substance use is explored, including social media, song lyrics, and advertising.

These programs incorporate a comprehensive, blended learning approach to substance abuse prevention education. Tied to both SEL and Health Standards, our program structure includes an interactive e-learning lesson prior to the classroom visit from the Candor Health educators. The program is infused with games, videos, activities, discussions, and post activities to help assessments for teachers.

This is a 90-minute program.
