Drug Abuse Resistance Education

Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) is a school-based program designed to teach students about the dangers of drug use and to develop skills to resist peer pressure. Through classroom lessons and activities, DARE aims to promote healthy decision-making, self-esteem, and assertiveness. It often involves law enforcement officers working with students to foster trust and provide accurate information about drugs, their effects, and the importance of a drug-free lifestyle. The goal is to equip young people with the knowledge and confidence to make informed choices and avoid substance abuse.
