LifeSkills
 
LifeSkills is a substance abuse prevention program designed for both elementary and middle school students. Rather than simply teaching information about drugs, LifeSkills combats the primary underlying causes of substance use identified in research literature. Other ways in which LifeSkills differs from existing substance abuse prevention programs include:

*its effectiveness,
*its comprehensiveness,
*the use of interactive teaching methods, and
*appropriateness for individuals from diverse backgrounds.
