Botvin LifeSkills is a High School program that offers an integrated approach that helps to develop personal, interpersonal, and drug resistance skills. The curriculum is designed to strengthen student’s abilities in the following areas:
- Self-Management Skills: Students will be empowered to develop strategies to make health decisions, reduce stress, manage anger, and conflict resolution skills.
- General Social Skills: Students will strengthen their communication skills and learn how to build healthy relationships.
- Drug Resistance Skills: Students will understand the consequences of substance use, risk-taking, and the negative influences of social media.
- Family Communications: Botvin recognizes changing roles in the family; we teach how to communicate effectively with family members and how to identify developmental changes in oneself.
