The third program in our substance abuse prevention continuum, DECISIONS,  has our Educators lead students in a discussion on more complex topics like polysubstance use, the impact of substance use on short/long term goals and a deeper understanding of brain development. Taught through the use of characters and scenarios students are able to explore difficult situations involving peer pressure, alcohol and drug use hopefully before they are faced with them in real life. Small groups are utilized to help spur discussion and engagement.
Our substance abuse prevention 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, whole and small group work infused with games, activities and discussions and post activities to help assessments for teachers.
