School-based Prevention Programs
We provide extensive strengths-based education and prevention programs in all MDI and outer island schools. This program is funded in part by the Nathan Bright Keegan Memorial Education Fund. The school prevention education curriculum includes lessons exploring honesty, integrity and personal values, resiliency, peer pressure and refusal skills, and specific information about cocaine, marijuana, tobacco, alcohol, heroine, and opiates.

Ten Sessions That Change Lives
Pre-adolescents and adolescents experience difficulty in considering the future consequences of today’s decisions, and in applying information about risks to themselves. These factors, combined with peer pressure and curiosity are a dangerous combination when drugs and/or alcohol become available. At the middle school level we offer a ten-lecture series based on strengths and self-direction. Understanding the risks and consequences of substance use empowers youth to make better choices.

Knowledge is Empowerment
High school is a time of personal growth and social change; difficult decisions and uncertainty. The availability of drugs and alcohol, and the exposure to addiction in fellow students, friends, and family are some of the more difficult challenges faced. Our lectures give teens the knowledge to make informed decisions.
