- Evidence-based curriculum proven to reduce alcohol and drug use.
- Realistic, relatable scenarios to help students develop critical life skills.
- Empowers students to make informed and responsible decisions.
- Reported positive feedback from both students and teachers.
- Modules targeting Years 8 to 11 for maximum impact.
