Drug Prevention and Education
There are currently more than 22 million drug users in the United States and a large percentage of them are children and young adults. Ours is a nation that largely praises quick fixes and easy relief, which leads to the event of experimentation followed by addiction.
Did you know that approximately 17.8% of Hawaii middle school students and 28.7% of high school students reported being offered, sold, or given an illegal drug on school property within the past year? Among high school students, 9.9% reported using marijuana for the first time before age 13.
Narconon drug education and prevention counselors have educated over 1.5 million school children through the Narconon drug education and training programs. Our program has demonstrated effectiveness in turning kids away from drugs. The experience and history of our success with students throughout the world is what Narconon Hawaii has to offer students on the islands.
Studies show that early drug prevention must give young children the truth, the vital information and tools they need to make their own choice to keep away from drugs. The Narconon program has been reaching young people with the truth about drugs for over 30 years, bringing them the factual information they need to make the decision not to use drugs.
By continually monitoring trends in youth substance abuse, we are able to keep pace with changing community needs. Our presentations are real and reflect what kids are actually doing.
The Narconon Drug Education presentation curriculum consists of a series of up to eight interactive classroom sessions. Students learn the straight facts about drugs in an engaging and interesting format, with ample opportunity for classroom discussion and participation.
Part of the Narconon Hawaii drug prevention curriculum includes topics such as:
What is a drug?
The physical effects of drugs
Marijuana – what it does to the body
The mental effects of drugs
The line of drug addiction
Alcohol and media influences
How drugs effect emotions
