Too Good for Drugs - Elementary School

Too Good for Drugs (TGFD) for elementary school students is a school-based drug prevention program designed to reduce students' intention to use alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs, while promoting prosocial attitudes, skills, and behaviors. The program seeks to build the self-confidence of students so they are better able to make healthy choices and achieve success. Although there are different objectives across grade levels, promoting positive, prosocial attitudes, and fostering healthy relationships is a running theme throughout the program’s curriculum. Overall, TGFD seeks to develop positive peer norms, appropriate attitudes toward alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drug use, personal and interpersonal skills relating to alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drug use, knowledge of the negative consequences of alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drug use, and finally the knowledge of the benefits of living a drug-free lifestyle.
