It's made it easier to communicate with the kids...we can all have a consensus going on...it's just a consensus then of how we communicate with one another back and forth.
Imagine a classroom where kids are not just learning about math and history, but also how to make smart choices in life. That's exactly what's happening with the LifeSkills curriculum at Northwest Middle School. In this episode of 'Your Bridge to Addiction Resources', Prevention Specialist Jennifer Kaucher teams up with teacher Megan Faust to share how this evidence-based program is transforming young lives.
From teaching refusal skills and boosting self-esteem to navigating the dangers of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, LifeSkills is more than just a curriculum—it's a game-changer for middle schoolers. Megan Faust explains how her students are now more confident in making decisions and resisting peer pressure. The open communication fostered by LifeSkills has created a supportive classroom environment where kids feel safe to express themselves.
Jennifer Kaucher adds that topics like media literacy and conflict resolution are also covered, giving students a well-rounded toolkit for life's challenges. If you're curious about how prevention education can make a real difference, this episode is a must-listen. You'll hear firsthand how LifeSkills is shaping not just individual students but the entire school community. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or just someone interested in youth development, this conversation offers valuable insights into the power of education to change lives.
