About Drugs 101

The Susan P. Brynes Health Education Center, in York PA, offers two customizable drug and alcohol education programs for adults (parents, teachers, community groups, employees, administrators, SAP leaders, etc.)

Two Programs

Based on the viewing audience (parents or teachers), we provide one of two programs:

1) Drugs101: What Parents Need to Know
2) Drugs 101: What Teachers Need to Know

Presentation Components?

The program seeks to educate participants about more than 50 to 70 indicators of drug use and peer pressure facing students to use them.

A mock bedroom or classroom and locker area of a teenage drug user serves as the backdrop to the presentation.

Parent program has "live" role playing demonstrations which help to initiate conversations between parent and child and help overcome peer pressure, while the Teacher program presents and discusses your specific district policy during an ACT 48 In-Service.
