A program of the Permian Basin Regional Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Curriculum
All youth drug prevention curriculums implemented in schools and community sites are evidenced-based and provide facts about alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. These facts help students set goals and make good decisions for their life. Curriculum lessons give students skills that include managing emotions, communicating, making friendships, developing social skills, analyzing media messages, and dealing with peer pressure. It is our goal to help build self-efficacy and become positive role models while implementing curriculum at community sites.
​
Curriculum includes:
-
All Stars-Ector County for 6-8th grade
-
Project Towards No Drug Abuse-Midland County 9-12th grade
