Addiction Policy Forum is proud to share that their free, self-paced online prevention e-Course - Protect Your Brain/Protege tu Cerebro - is now available in both English and Spanish. Developed to help youth, parents, families, educators, and communities better understand brain health and substance use prevention, the course provides engaging, evidence-informed education that empowers young people to make healthy decisions and build lifelong protective skills.
Unlike many traditional prevention programs, Protect Your Brain/Protege tu Cerebro introduces middle and high school students to the science of brain development and healthy literacy while helping them build practical skills for everyday life. The e-Course takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete and uses age-appropriate language and visuals to teach essential skills for mental wellness, healthy decision-making, and addiction prevention.
Through interactive lessons, students will have an opportunity to explore:
*How the adolescent brain develops
*Risk & protective factors that influence development of a substance use disorder
*Healthy coping strategies
*Building resilience and decision-making skills
The Addiction Policy Form media release lists more than 30 national, state, and community organizations who have joined the launch to help bring the free resources to communities:
