OUR SOLUTION
These dangerous trends aren't always simple to notice. In order to understand these behaviors we have to put ourselves in the shoes of these teens and imagine what they're facing! Do you recall your teenage years? Maybe you're experimenting them now! Understanding is your first step. Ours is educating!
So what is our solution?
Our solution is to create presentations and workshops where the students in our community can better comprehend the dangers of substance use. We want students to surpass the expectations and break the stereotypes society has about teens in urban environments. The sessions will include visuals such as displays and slide shows, interactive lessons and workshops. We want to emphasize the dangers of drug abuse, how to deal with peer pressure and expose them to healthy coping mechanisms. Where will our program take place? Well where can we find our youth? Schools! Our program plans on organizing sessions with various middle and high schools to reach out to the students in the community.
