YES You Can...Experience True Freedom Flipping Book 092425

Alcohol, Drugs & Sex (Curriculum Lesson Title: Limits To Freedom)

The combination of substance use with sexual decision - making creates a dangerous situation, ripe for bad outcomes.

Distortion goggles are needed for this lesson and will offer students the opportunity to personally experience a simulated impact of being “ under the influence ” that closely mirrors reality. Guided discussion points cover physical effects, impairment of moral judgment and a lowering of inhibitions with substance use. Students are cautioned that not only illegal street drugs are dangerous but also prescription drugs that are intended for another person. A situational story is read. With a worksheet, students are empowered to rewrite the story by recognizing opportunities as they occur and providing healthier choices. They will conclude that making smart decisions in life, gives them power to change disastrous endings. The Respect and Protect handout provides nine (9) important tips on protection from drugs involving date or acquaintance rape. Students will be educated on what to do if a victim of a date rape drug and additional things that will help in keeping them safe.

Cost: $25.00 if your school already owns distortion goggles $92.00 if distortion goggles are needed.

If purchased, distortion goggles will be mailed - shipping included.
