KEEP A CLEAR MIND

                                           

The Keep a Clear Mind, a program component of SAMSHA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration) is a comprehensive and beneficial curriculum that has proven results in helping students resist drug pressure and educating parents.

The program consists of four take-home lessons dealing with tobacco, alcohol, marijuana and saying no to drugs.
These lessons are to be sent home at the beginning of each week.
The Students are then asked to complete these lessons with the help of their parents.
Students will receive small prizes for completing each weekly lesson.

After the four weeks of lessons, follow-up will consist of five bi-weekly parent news- letters. These newsletters will help aide the continuation and implementation of the skills learned. KACM requires minimal effort on the part of each classroom. It is an easy and cost-free way for schools to address known risk factors for substance abuse. The Della Gill/Joyce H. Williams staff will assist the schools with further information as requested.

The Keep a Clear Mind program Facilitates parent-child dialogue about the use of alcohol, tobacco and marijuana. Together, parents and their children learn about the dangers of these substances and practice ways to say no. As part of the lessons, parents learn about their important role and have the opportunity to communicate with their child the expectation that their child will not use these substances.
