School-based prevention programs are available to provide comprehensive programming to your communities. This year we are focusing on three specific topics: alcohol, marijuana, and vape/e-cigarettes. Our community approach can include faculty professional development, student assemblies, parent/community presentations, information dissemination, grade level prevention education and targeted groups for policy violators.
Prevention Presentations
These education opportunities can be in the form of professional trainings, school faculty in-service trainings, community wellness presentations, small business lunch and learns, guest lectures for students and assemblies. Presentations can be provided in-person, virtually or
prerecorded.
Prevention Education Groups
