Substance Abuse Prevention
NCADA* - Grades K-12
NCADA provides an array of prevention programs working on building resiliency skills to prevent youth from becoming involved with alcohol and other drugs in partnerships with area schools. These services vary greatly and serve K-12 graders. Each lesson focuses on skill development on a variety of topics: protecting our brains, developing skills in social competency, problem solving, peer refusal, and making healthy choices. Middle and high schools can participate in peer leadership programs where teens learn to teach substance use prevention lessons to peers and younger students; to lead prevention activities in their schools; and to intervene with peers whose alcohol and other drug use are cause for concern.
