Keys
to Healthy Living
Keys to Healthy Living Living is an interactive classroom based,
substance-abuse prevention curriculum for grades 1-11, guiding children to
explore all aspects of their lives: Physical, Psychological, Social, and
Spiritual. It is based on the current
research
about brain chemistry, life skills education, risk and protective factors,
asset development, community service, and spirituality. Particularly unique
to this curriculum, originally developed for the Russian schools, is that
it integrates materials universally appropriate for all children including
material developed for children of alcoholics, children with fetal alcohol
syndrome, children with learning differences, including attention deficit
hyperactive disorders (ADHD). It also addresses alcohol, prescription and
illegal drug abuse.
Curriculum Goal
To maximize participants'
potential to be healthy, responsible and addiction free young adults.
