Health & Life Skills
SMART Moves
The SMART Moves (Skills Mastery and Resilience Training) prevention and education program addresses problems such as drug and alcohol use and premature sexual activity. Young people engage in discussion and roleplaying, practice resilience and refusal skills, analyze peer and media influence and strengthen decision-making skills. The ultimate goal is to promote abstinence from substance abuse and adolescent sexual involvement through the practice of responsible behavior.
