Rationale for this program: Anti-drug attitudes and life skills must be strong before children enter middle school or junior high. Children are already learning misinformation about drugs at this age. Belonging to a group and being accepted by peers are most important. Children must learn they can keep their individuality and still belong. * What Does the Curriculum Cover? * Names of illegal substances * Effects of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs * Explore self- and social awareness * How they are an integral part of their families * How they are an integral part of their communities * Decision-making skills * Problem solving skills * Qualities of healthy relationship * Strategies for coping with stress * Importance of helping others * Setting goals * Additional resources, teacher's evaluations, and more.
