“It is a great program, highly effective in the classroom. Thank you so much.” – LD
“…easy to use and at students’ level of learning. Videos stand out most-they actually watch and listen. I’ve had students tell me that they now understand more and plan on not doing drugs; some feel MJ is harmless, but have learned differently and now say ‘no.’
Using the booklets and videos together really ties all the info together for them and they get a better picture of drugs really do to the body. It seems they can better understand when they hear reports of people doing weird things in the real world.” – RS
“The videos had a huge impact on my students. Being able to change things up and show a good video really captures the attention of students. I can say for certain that knowledge has improved (in the students). Looking forward to the next set of videos.” – TG
“I use the materials in presentations to adults as well as students. I have presented to 275 people so far. The materials are very well received by adults as well as students. I would rate them as a 9. Thank you for making them available.” – DW
“I use your materials in my Drug Unit. Students find the information very useful and informative. Can you please send me new copies of the information.” – JK
“Great personal stories help with the actual lessons. They (the students) are opening up more.” – JT
“They understand how serious it is. (I rate it a) 9 because it helps when people hear first-hand experience from children who may have gone through addiction.” - SF
"I love the program. Particularly, the documentary DVD has been the most helpful. The students are intrigued by the personal accounts. I think that is what touches most of them and encourages them to think about their own lives. The students probably like the booklets the most. They hang on to them even after we have done the program. Students are usually very flippant about the use of "drug" vocabulary (i.e. calling each other crack-head or making references to smoking pot). After the lessons, they are much more careful about using those words (at least in my own observations). My students are on the upper end of the low-income SES and some are solidly in middle class. My students are very sheltered and do not have a lot of "street" education. This program gives them the knowledge without exposing them to too much. While they won't be sheltered forever, at least they leave my school armed with knowledge to make good choices thanks to the Truth About Drugs lessons." - CPS
