HALO: HALO stands for ‘Healthy Alternatives for Little Ones.’ It is a curriculum designed for children aged 3-6 that helps them practice healthy behaviors and decision making. HALO is a series of 10-12 lessons that help children build positive self-concepts, increase self-confidence, identify and share feelings, learn facts about healthy and harmful choices, and learn ways to reduce stress. HALO uses fun songs and visuals to teach the kids both in person and virtual!

Curriculum-Based Support Group: This curriculum  could be in a small group setting or general classroom. The Curriculum-Based Support Group (CBSG®) Program is an effective antidote designed to increase resilience in children and youth who experience adversity, trauma and toxic stress through the development of healthy social, emotional and coping skills in a caring support group setting.

Small Groups

Small groups can be offered for a group of students who is considered to be at-risk for using substances. Topics for these groups can include substance specific information (vaping, marijuana, underage alcohol use, etc.) and also life skills (decision making, communication, resiliency, etc.). These groups can range from 1-6 sessions.
