Council on Chemical Abuse Prevention Manager, Jackie Steed and Yvonne Stroman, Community Programs Specialist discuss the importance of prevention in our community and schools. Evidence Based curriculum such as LifeSkills is a fifteen session education program that addresses refusal skills, decision making and dangers related to alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, teen violence, bullying and peer pressure.

Middle School and High School students have access to this information in a classroom setting or at a playground or recreation park during the summer months. Schools welcome this invaluable information for their students, and in some instances, receive LifeSkills training to sustain its continuation for years to come.
