ARM YOURSELF WITH THE TRUTH ABOUT DRUGS
DRUGS THREATEN THE LIVES OF YOUTH AND ADULTS IN YOUR COMMUNITY.
DRUG ABUSE CUTS DOWN PRODUCTIVITY, UNDERMINES MORAL STANDARDS AND CRASHES SCHOLASTIC PERFORMANCE.
Education plays a vital role in preventing drug abuse. How to talk to youth about drugs is often puzzling or appears impossible.
This is why, for over twenty years, the largest community-based drug education program has been carried out worldwide. Based on experience gained over the years, we have created a new Truth About Drugs Education Kit.
The kit contains ten well-researched pocket-size individual booklets with factual information about the most abused drugs, including real-life stories and a study guide.
The ten booklets and a study guide, packaged in a compact box, are the components of The Truth About Drugs Education Kit.
Production and distribution of the booklets and education kit are made possible through donations and sponsorships by private organizations — businesses, churches and civic organizations that care and want to do something about the economic and social consequences of drug use in their communities.
Governments have also provided funding to our affiliated organizations. By way of example, in New Zealand, a city council paid for the reprint of thousands of copies of one of the drug prevention booklets for distribution in their community. The Taiwanese Ministry of Education helped to finance the reprint of more than 100,000 copies of a booklet on ecstasy. The Ministry supports the program in several ways and children in hundreds of schools in the country have participated in drug education lectures as part of the “Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Life” program. The result — ecstasy use dropped by 65 percent across all targeted age groups.
Effective drug education works. It saves millions of lives. It is our responsibility to ensure our children are empowered with all the facts so they can decide to lead a drug-free life. Start by getting The Truth About Drugs Education Kit into the hands of friends, family members, employees, teachers and students in your community, thereby saving lives.
