✨ The NEW D.A.R.E. Program - this one works! - provides general life skills education to support good decision-making for a safe and healthy life. 🦁Rather than being trained to implement one curriculum for every student, officers meet students where they are.🦁Rather than asking kids to ‘Just Say No,’ as past generations learned, today’s D.A.R.E. participants are building risk management tool belts. 🦁The kids gain applicable ways to maintain friendships and engage with social events in complicated spaces like high school without feeling they have to partake in binge drinking, joint passing, or other risky activities if they don’t want to.”💻 Learn more here: dare.org/the-new-dare-program-this-one-works/#dareamerica #dareprogram #dareamericainternational #dareinternational #dareofficer #DARE #communitypolicing #educationisprevention
