Straight Up!

Straight Up! is our Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program.  Our teachers are recovering addicts and or former Drug Users who teach ALL the facts about how drugs affect the body, the mind, ones family and social lives, how they impact your financial health, your relationships and how using drugs and alcohol can change your future….forever.. We teach the different types of drugs and alcohol, the addictive properties in each drug, what each drug looks like and the different names they are called on the street.  Our REAL LIFE honesty approach has been very impactful for students. Students will leave with tools to resist peer pressure and empowered with knowledge so they know the truth and won’t believe the media, their friends or community and family members that are using drugs and alcohol. This program will break the cycle of addiction by empowering people with the knowledge and skills they need to make healthy choices.

 

Yoga and Mindfulness

We teach deep breathing and simple yoga moves to relax and de-stress.  Stress is one of the leading causes of many preventable diseases. Stress is also a root cause of self-medication and alcohol and drug use not to mention,domestic violence.  Learning how to calm down and be mindful of everything you do helps community members to focus and communicate in healthier ways. Mindfulness and meditation techniques will help students get to sleep faster and stay asleep longer.
