Knowledge is power. And in the realm of adolescents and young adults and substance use, knowledge empowers prevention, intervention and treatment.

What Teens Need to Know: Addictive Substances provides youth with in-depth information on addictive substances and uses evidence-based strategies like the social norms approach to support prevention and reduce substance use. Facilitators do not need a specialized background in prevention, intervention, or treatment to guide student discussions.

With flexibility at top of mind and an easy-to-navigate menu, topics and segments can be implemented individually, combined with others, or used to complement existing programs and curricula.

Segments include

• Addictive Substances
• Alcohol
• Cannabis
• Club Drugs
• Cocaine
• Hallucinogens
• Inhalants
• Methamphetamine
• Nicotine and Vaping
• Opioids

Includes a set of 3 DVDs, a flash drive with reproducible handouts, and a facilitator guide for each substance.

*Video subtitles are available in English and Spanish.
