Project Resiliency
DRUG USE is a part of contemporary life, and there appears to be no end in sight. In fact, many youth view alcohol and drug experimentation as a rite of passage from childhood to adolescence. Unfortunately, harmful substances can lead to serious education and health tribulations at a time when lifelong habits are being developed.

THE CHALLENGE for teachers is to reach students in a way that will help them to acquire that information they need to make informed choices about substance abuse and remain open to critical support from caring adults.

PROJECT RESILIENCY - Overcoming Addiction features youth telling it like it is, that drugs and other substances have damaged their lives. It focuses on how accurate drug information, personal strength, courage, and resiliency are the antidote to drug temptation and hardship.
