Too Good for Drugs & Violence After-School Activities

 

Too Good for Drugs & Violence After-School Activities is a multi-faceted collection of dynamic activities adapted from the school-based Too Good programs for use in recreation centers, community centers or after-school settings. These activities augment school-based prevention programs with fun and engaging opportunities to learn and practice vital prevention skills.

 

 


How it works

 

Children are influenced by all the environments in which they live. To be truly effective, prevention programs must reach children not only in schools, but in after-school and out-of-school settings as well. Too Good for Drugs & Violence After-School Activities reinforces school-based prevention programming by emphasizing the same skills and concepts in a different context. The program includes games, songs and stories tailored to children’s interests and developmental level. Activities are designed for two distinct groups: ages 5-9 and ages 10-13.

 

Enhances protective factors

Too Good for Drugs & Violence After-School Activities focuses on developing skills that support children’s abilities to adapt to changing social contexts and resist influences that lead to risk-taking behaviors. Participating children evidence significant and positive improvements in both personal and interpersonal skills.
