FROM THE EXPERTS

New Year, New You - Cultivating the Power of Positivity
Katie Gallagher - Director of Education
Candor Health Education

If you have ever found yourself fixated on what is wrong in your life or on a mistake that you made, you are not alone.  Here are a few proven strategies to help “train” your brain to focus on the positive:

   

ONLINE DRUG & SEX EDUCATION RESOURCES

Talking to kids about tough topics like sexting, explicit content, opioids and addiction is difficult. 


Good news! We have dedicated content to help.

   

IN THE NEWS

The future of a healthy workplace needs to involve social and emotional learning

Includr

Social and emotional skills are connected to a wide range of positive outcomes related to adult well-being, including education, employment, and mental and physical health. These skills help us better understand ourselves and others, achieve our goals, build relationships, and find solutions to personal and community issues.

   

SCIENCE VS. VALUES

   

IN THE NEWS

Real Drug Education

Drug Policy Alliance

We know that some young people do use drugs. So any approach to drug education that focuses on keeping kids safe must not only encourage young people to avoid drugs, but must also provide information on how young people can reduce risk if they or their friends do use drugs.
