We Got the Grant—An Overview of a Substance Abuse Prevention Program Study

I’m excited to be presenting on this amazing program.
There are four traits that Put Kids at Risk of Substance Misuse and in January 2019, VCU Institute of Drug & Alcohol Studies with Beacon Tree Foundation, won the VCU CCTR Endowment Fund to implement Preventure, a personality targeted life skills training program that has been shown to reduce drug and alcohol use in schools by up to 80%.
The pilot study, the first in the US, will include four Virginia schools, two of which are in Chesterfield County.
