Promoting Positive Change
The Underage Alcohol and Other Drugs Education Program is built upon the premise that all individuals have the power to change behavior if they have the motivation and tools to do so. Students are assisted in applying course information to their own life circumstances and provided with guidance and support for change.
The Underage Alcohol and Other Drugs Education Program applies prevailing research in change and motivation to help students avoid future problems with alcohol or other drugs. Students develop a Personal Action Plan to address the high-risk behavior that led to their citation. Students build their plans little by little throughout the course and benefit from ongoing feedback and support. The Personal Action Plan is the main focus of the course.
At the conclusion of the course, all students share completed Personal Action Plans with members of the class. The goal is for each student to leave the course with a personalized, realistic and specific plan to avoid future problems with alcohol or other drugs.
