Prevention works. Our lessons meet kids where they are – in the classroom! All of these lessons are offered at no-cost to schools (public and private) throughout Central Alabama. The programs are evidence-informed and research-based. 

Current offerings:

Kindergarten – Winning Friendships – This four-lesson unit promotes language and behaviors that build friendships and provide skills to handle uncomfortable feelings.

Grades K-2 – Medicine Safety – This single lesson explores the topic of medicine safety with students in Grades K-2 and discusses when and from whom children should take medicine.  Additionally, it explores the look and taste of medications and how visually similar they are to candy, as well as why and when medication might be taken.
