SAFE/DRUG FREE SCHOOLS

Program Overview:
The goal of Safe and Drug Free Schools and Tobacco Use Prevention Education programs is to help all students reach their potential academically, socially, emotionally, and physically free from the limitations that are imposed by violence, drugs, alcohol and tobacco. The SDFS/TUPE programs provide prevention services in the form of education about substance abuse, violence and bullying; training in essential life skills; parent education; peer leadership; and the implementation of positive youth development strategies. Intervention programs include tobacco use cessation groups on high school campuses and a Saturday Series for students who are struggling with tobacco, drugs/alcohol and violence issues. The SDFS/TUPE programs uses data from the California Healthy Kids Survey to set objective performance indicators to measure progress as we work toward the implementation of research-validated prevention and intervention strategies.
