Section V
The objectives of the CRASH School are
A. To inform participants of the extent and
			 seriousness of alcohol impairment and some of the consequences of becoming
			 under the influence.
B. To provide
			 participants with the opportunity to examine their own drinking
			 behavior.
C. To inform participants
			 of the sources available to assist them in changing their drinking behavior as
			 appropriate.
The CRASH alcohol education program has been designed to
				provide participants with information to help them understand clearly how
				alcohol affects behavior as well as driving skills so that they can prevent
				trouble in the future. Through lecture, reading materials, films and small
				group discussions, participants have the opportunity, along with others, to
				openly and frankly examine facts about alcohol and discuss the role alcohol
				plays in their life. There are two tracks within each CRASH School. Track I is
				for first offenders. Track II is for multiple offenders. Other persons who are
				mandated to attend the CRASH School will be placed in one of these tracks based
				upon their needs as determined by the CRASH School Manager. The CRASH School is
				open to anyone who wishes basic facts about alcohol and we strongly urge
				spouses, friends, or relatives to attend. Local CRASH School Managers will
				determine costs for these participants within guidelines set by the Director of
				Project CRASH.
