Youth Drug Prevention Toolkit

Banyan Community Health provides integrated health care for people in south Florida. In addition to primary care and mental health care, we are committed to effective substance abuse services. Educators and those working in schools are in a unique position to bring messages about drug use prevention and early intervention to our youth. We know that drug and alcohol education in schools can help students make healthier decisions and influence long-term behavior.¹.

Free Substance Abuse Curriculum for Florida Educators

As part of her mission to empower students to avoid substance abuse, Florida’s First Lady Casey DeSantis introduced a new initiative called “The Facts. Your Future.” The team at Banyan Health is pleased to share the School Assemblies Toolkit that includes fact sheets, conversation guides, prevention and education activities, and event templates for interactive intervention. The goal of this curriculum toolkit is to raise awareness of the facts about substance use and engage students in conversations that empower them to make healthy choices.
