Quick consult
A short call to learn your students' needs — what you're seeing in hallways, what topics matter most, and any sensitivities we should know about.
We present
Our trained student presenters run interactive sessions tailored to your schedule — peers talking to peers is why it works.
Follow-up
Every school gets take-home materials, a staff debrief, and resource links so the message keeps working after we leave.
What a session looks like
Sessions run 30–60 minutes and are built around interaction, not lectures — real scenarios, myth-vs-fact activities, live polls, and practiced refusal skills students actually rehearse out loud.
Content is age-appropriate and honest. Middle schoolers get foundations: peer pressure, vaping basics, decision-making. High schoolers go deeper: fentanyl and counterfeit pills, prescription misuse, driving and substances, social media's role.
Topics we cover
- Vaping & nicotine
- Alcohol
- Cannabis
