This 4-session workshop will help 8th to 12th grade students learn about the risks and consequences of drug use, understand the effects of marijuana and prescription drug use on the teen brain, evaluate their personal choices, and set goals for the future. The third session requires parent participation and looks at family assets and values. The curriculum is cognitive behavioral theory-based, and is intended for students with low-to-moderate use who do not yet have an addiction.
