HC DrugFree is providing a highly interactive skills-based program designed to promote positive health and personal development for youth in grades 6-8. The integrated approach helps to develop personal, interpersonal, and drug resistance skills.

This middle school program uses developmentally appropriate, collaborative learning strategies to help students achieve competency in the skills that have been shown to help students resist substance use (tobacco, alcohol and other drugs), violence, and other high-risk behaviors.

To be sure your student receives numerous perspectives, our instructional team consists of dedicated adults and highly talented Howard County students. Your middle school student will hear from college and high school students about situations they may face in high school, college, and beyond.

The 15-session training is scheduled for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays July 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30, August 4, 5, and 6.
