What is I Mind?
I Mind is a voluntary one-day, 4-hour program. It gives adolescents tools to avoid substance use. I Mind also helps students return to school or after-school programs as quickly as possible after discipline measures.
When school Alcohol and Other Drug policies are violated, students are often excluded from school other activities for discipline. Youth need prevention programming to turn from potential substance use disorders.
I Mind
Program
I Mind consists of evidence informed education and a substance use intervention assessment.
The program will cover prevention, a small group discussion, and intervention. Topics will include prevention on smoking, vaping, alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs.
