This program, Too Good for Drugs, is for all students Kindergarten through High School. Too Good for Drugs is included in SAMHSA’s National Registry of evidence-based programs and practices for skill-building.
Teachers have received special training to deliver the Too Good for Drugs curriculum. Students will engage in 10 hands-on lessons including paired, group, and individual learning. The core components for each grade includes:
Skill Development - goal setting, decision making, effective communication, relationships
Drug Information – alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, addiction, street drugs, prescription drugs
Drug Information and Skill Application – peer pressure, healthy choices, alternatives to substance use
The Home Workout Activity for each lesson will provide parents and caregivers an opportunity to work with their child to develop and reinforce the concepts learned in class. These activities will also help families support prevention messages and skill development outside of school.
The evidence-based Too Good for Drugs program is designed to empower students grades K-12 with the necessary skills to make healthy choices, build positive friendships, resist negative peer pressure, and ultimately avoid drug use.
