The D.A.R.E. program helps build the self esteem of students, and develops the skills they need to live drug free lives. Providing accurate information about alcohol, and drugs. Giving the students ideas for alternatives to drug use. Showing them how to resist peer pressure. By educating and motivating this generation of young people, we hope to significantly reduce the demand for illegal substances.
Parental involvement is a key component in the battle to keep kids off drugs.
By reinforcing the D.A.R.E. message at home, parents can help support their child's decision to remain drug free. Giving classroom instruction or counseling to students in law enforcement related topics. Providing a resource to teachers, parents and students for conferences on an individual basis. Assisting students to achieve a clear realization of the consequences of delinquent and criminal behavior. Providing a visible law enforcement officer to deal with any law related situations or topics.
