HC DrugFree is providing another series of FUN and interactive skills-based classes designed to promote positive health and personal development. This “Middle School” curriculum was designed for students in grades 6 to 9 so if you have questions about the appropriateness for your students, email us or register them, and we will contact you to confirm their enrollment. We encourage siblings and friends to take these classes together.

Our instructional team consists of adults with years of experience in related fields and highly talented college and high school students. Your student will learn how to handle very real situations they may face in middle and high school, college, and beyond and have plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Younger students listen to trusted older students!

This program will use developmentally appropriate, collaborative learning strategies so students will learn skills that have been shown to help resist high-risk behaviors including substance use (vaping, alcohol and other drugs) and more.

The 15-session training is scheduled for Wednesdays at 3:00 p.m. on Zoom. Classes are scheduled to begin on Wednesday, January 27 and run for 15 weeks thru May 5. Students are encouraged to attend all classes. Classes will begin at 3:00 p.m. and end by 4:00 p.m.

The curriculum is designed to strengthen student abilities in the following areas:

• • Personal Self-Management Skills: Students develop skills that help them enhance self-esteem, develop problem-solving abilities, reduce stress and anxiety, and manage anger.
• • General Social Skills: Students gain skills to meet personal challenges such as overcoming shyness, communicating clearly, building relationships, and avoiding violence.
• • Drug Resistance Skills:  Students build effective defenses against pressures to use tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs.
• • And more!!
