Happy New Year everybody? Question: Is there an agency or organization that we can call if we suspect there are concerns with how a Dr. prescribes or dispenses medication? Thank you in advance,

Can I have a link to this curriculum.

My experience with people whose lives have been decimated by drugs is than many of these programs may give a measurable out come in the school but when they go home to the trauma of poverty it is reversed.

The economics of poverty also drive up drugs just to make rent.

"Too Good for Drugs."  A SAMSHA approved, evidence-based prevention program.  I've been trained to implement the program and HIGHLY recommend it.

Such an important topic, Jay. I wonder about the transfer of decision making skills in other areas to substance abuse. Any correlation?
