Just Like Me – High School Drug Prevention Program
Just Like Me – high school drug prevention program – Just Like Me is a joint initiative with the Center for Creative Development and The Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (LICADD). This interactive, peer-to-peer program empowers students to make healthy decisions about drug use. Utilizing art as a compelling tool for self-discovery and self-expression, Just Like Me brings kids together through community art projects to frankly address issues of substance abuse and other social concerns. The 4-month, in-school program guides students to learn valuable life and leadership skills and rally the larger community in support of their continued growth and development. Teens create the opportunity to assume true leadership roles as they rally and unite their families and educational, business, civic, religious, political and law enforcement organizations in support of their work. The four-part curriculum includes an audio-visual exhibit, live presentation, public art exhibit and teacher education program. Each phase builds layers of experience, awareness and action for students, teachers, parents and the community at large. After nearly 20 years of zero tolerance drug policies, teen drug use continues to rise and the problem grows more complex. Just Like Me offers teens the opportunity to learn valuable life skills while developing a sense of self-worth and purpose.
