Long Island P.R.E.P Substance Abuse Prevention Education Cornerstone Ideology

Peer Pressure: Students need to build and solidify the strength to resist peer pressure.

Misinformation: Students need to be able to identify and decipher misconceptions and misinformation regarding illicit substances, and build and solidify strong resistance to their influence on the intent to use drugs amongst teens.

Access/Exposure: Research suggests that the more often a child/teen is exposed to illicit substances, the more likely their intent is to use them. Students need to be aware of these facts and have the tools needed to resist use and limit their exposure by recognizing the people and influences among them.

Parent Involvement: Research indicates that parents hold the biggest sway over the actions of their children. Parental monitoring of social media, friends, and activities can be a crucial deterrent of substance use, as well as strong and healthy social/emotional relationships. Students need to be active participants in establishing relationships with parents and close family.
