Empowering youth: advancing prevention with LifeSkills training

There are few things more rewarding than providing youth with the essential life skills to advance their personal or academic goals while acquiring life-long skills to lead happy, healthy, drug-free lives. We will review the evidence-based Botvin LifeSkills Training (LST) programs and how they address key risk factors like peer pressure, low self-esteem, and stress while strengthening essential protective factors, including decision-making, communication, and self-management skills.

Through engaging lessons and skill-building activities, LST empowers students to make positive choices, resist unhealthy influences, develop healthy relationships, communicate effectively, manage emotions, and build lifelong resilience. Join us to see how LifeSkills Training can transform the lives of the youth you serve.
