Life Skills Training

in

Life Skills Training is a national model (Blueprint Program) drug use primary prevention program that provides general life and social resistance skills for late elementary and middle school students. The three basic components of the program include:

  • Personal Self-Management Skills (decision-making and problem-solving, self-control skills, coping with anxiety, and self-improvement skills)

  • Social Skills (communication and general social skills)

  • Drug-Related Skills (information designed to impact knowledge and attitudes concerning drug use, normative expectations, and skills for resisting drug use influences from the media and peers)

Nationally, Life Skills Training has been effective in reducing alcohol, cigarette and marijuana use among young adolescents. The effects of tobacco and heavy alcohol use have been sustained through the end of high school.  

Life Skills Training is sponsored by Norristown Area Communities That Care for Youth (CTC).  For more information on Life Skills Training, visit the Norristown Area CTC website or contact Cassandra Iannetta at 610-630-2111 ext. 233 or ciannetta@fsmontco.org.
