We have been given a wonderful opportunity to let educators and group leaders to have a highly valuable Alcohol and Drug prevention DVD for only the cost of shipping it to you. A sponsor has donated a large number of prevention videos for BC high school kids. This video covers 10 different drugs and types of drugs and is perfect for your CAPP classes or prevention curriculum.

British Columbia, BC Canada has been abused as a province wide grow op for marijuana and other drugs. Drug dealers, criminal gangs and organized crime have used BCs legal loop holes and leniency for manufacturing weed to drive tons of drugs onto the market and into BC high schools.

Simply talking about drugs won’t change anyone’s mind. Most high school kids are sick of hearing ‘don’t do drugs, it will ruin your life’. Yet few talks and presentations will cover all of the subject and deal with specific drugs. However,  The Truth About Drugs DVDs does this.

Effective Prevention Education DVDs are Real

Telling real life stories is the traditional way of sharing knowledge and learning. The Truth About Drugs DVDs relates these stories to BC  high school students. One thing students appreciate in any presentation is authenticity. They listen to someone who’s been there and done that. High school kids know the difference between book smarts and life smarts. And unfortunately, a teacher can’t divulge a drug abusing past without risk of job loss.

DVDs are different. We live in a digital, audio / video world and learning is mostly conveyed through A/V mediums, such as DVDs and video.

Narconon Vancouver Society has been specializing in drug prevention education in BC for 10 years. We’ve offered many no cost or low cost video presentations to many BC schools over the years and now we are offering another unbeatable drug & alcohol prevention education opportunity for BC students.

Drug & Alcohol Prevention Education Video Offer for BC

We have found a sponsor for a drug prevention program (DVD) for BC high schools. We have a limited number of DVDs to be given to counselors, teachers, principals and other youth group leaders in BC. Simply contact Narconon Vancouver Society by email or phone and request the program. We will send it out to you for the cost of Xpress Shipping. This cost to you is about $10, which insures you receive it and it is also insured against damage. We won’t be accepting pick up orders. All orders will go out by Xpress Post, no exceptions.

Life skills and character are the best defense and offense in the game of living a rewarding lifestyle and preventing drug abuse. It’s win / win.

Many theories exist as to why this is. The most logical statement about onset of drug abuse has to do with life skills and rewards.

Developing Character and Drug Abuse Prevention

As a person builds up ways and methods of achieving pleasure, satisfaction, fun and essentially ways of winning in life, drugs and alcohol abuse is really not needed.

There’s a reasonable theory, and a good one I believe.

Motivation and Brain Science in Drug Prevention

Also, from a physical level, a brain ‘circuit’ board level, drug and alcohol abuse in a developing teenager forms neural pathways, memories and behaviors which can lead to later life drug or alcohol abuse. We seek out ways to achieve pleasure and avoid pain. Learned or motivated behavior is the best way to describe this phenomena.

Motivationally, Dr Stanton Peele often talks about motivated behavior and helping people in recovery self-adjust motivations. Narconon has always believed the individual was in charge of their decisions, though many of those personal decisions lead to their loss of character, integrity, self worth and other desirable qualities.

Drug Prevention Education & Motivation

I’ve discovered the key to a successful drug prevention talk is to talk about things that motivate behavior. I love to talk straight to the kids and let them look over the facts, think about why they do what they do, how drugs and alcohol plays into being a great musician or ball player, leader or scholastic.

What does messing with the circuit board of your mind and getting distracted off your life’s purpose have to do with smoking weed? If you’re planning on being a druggy or a life time smoker, a lot. But that’s like saying my life’s purpose is sitting on the couch, eating Doritos and drinking beer. Any idiot can do that and you don’t need to rehearse for the role in high school.

Advertising ‘Ask your Doctor Ads’ and Drug Prevention

I think knowledge is a kids best defense against, marketing, product placement, suggestion and peer pressure. I simply describe how the marketing machine does it’s trick. It works on you as an adult, it seems to work just as well and better on kids. Want to know how it works?

I describe it in most of the Truth About Drugs prevention talks I deliver in Vancouver, North Van, Burnaby and Surrey high school presentations I deliver.

So as not to spoil your interest, big time advertisers, magazines, TV, movies etc use FEELINGS, sounds and smells to seduce your mind into feeling good, then associate those feelings with drugs, alcohol, etc. When was the last time you saw a drug ad with a person experiencing suicidal thoughts? They just soothingly say those words, then “Ask your doctor if Lunesta is right for you”. It’s playing to your core emotions, not to your reason.

A drug prevention education DVD program in high schools is only as good as the classroom students relate and like the programs. A good indicator of these video programs is to read exactly what the kids have to say about the prevention programs.

Drug Education Has To Be Truthful

The greatest problem facing kids today is getting straight, unbiased and truthful information presented by their peers and those who have tried drugs and are now clean and sober.

Drug Education Has To Be Truthful

Truth About Drugs DVDs or Narconon Videos are delivered by people kids can relate to, ordinary people. These videos communicate directly to high school kids about the exact concerns they have about drugs:

• Is weed addictive?
• Why some people become dependent on smoking marijuana?
• How dangerous is alcohol and why?
• Are prescription drugs safe?
• Why are so many people going to rehab for Rx drug abuse?
• Can you promote illegal drugs, if so, where is this done and how?
• How addictive is crystal meth?
• Can heroin kill you, how?

Many more of these questions about drug abuse and alcohol abuse are answered in 6 minute to 12 minute shorts on many specific drugs.

The good news is that schools, teachers and educational groups and programs can get access to these programs for the cost of an Xpress Post delivery to their doors, $20 total. No pick ups, sorry.

“The talk was very well done. The speaker shared many personal experiences making him more relateable.

I learned not only that drugs are “bad”, but what they can do to your body. I can educate other people and I can make decisions based on what I heard.”  15 year old female Vancouver high school student, private school

“It was very informative and I actually learned what happens in your body even after a person has stopped. But still learned how drugs mixed with blood. I learned to be careful around with drugs and not to do drugs”.    15 year old female student, Vancouver private school

“I didn’t realize how severe drugs like weed are for our health” 15 year old female high school student Vancouver

“I thought it was very educational because the speaker gave very good information” 16 year old high school student

“I learned that (drugs) it’s essentially poison, I didn’t know that; it gets stuck in fat cells. I learned to avoid drugs; it takes too long to get out of your body, makes life really challenging; educate others” grade 10 Vancouver high school student

“It was a very helpful speech, it taught me new things  I did not know about drugs. I did not know how they worked and now I know the affects. I can use what I learned by not talking drugs because I know what they can do to me”  grade 10 Vancouver student

“I thought it was good. It was thorough and really explained how drugs effect our body. It informed us what will happen if we take a drug. I can use what I learned to teach others who do not know what drugs do to their body. The more people aware, the better.” grade 10 high school

How quickly are drug abusers being manufactured in the lower mainland? It is a difficult statistic to measure, however an easier method of detection is following the level of general population acceptance of drug misuse. The rate or level of people accepting drug misuse is at an all time high.

Tolerance of Drug Abuse in Vancouver harms Drug Prevention Efforts

People openly deal drugs, use drugs and fix outside, in clubs and in public areas without hesitation. Take a walk down Granville St in Vancouver any late afternoon and count how many times you’re offered drugs to purchase, how many instances of drugs use or intoxication you observe and you’ll get a sense of the severity of the level of ‘cultural acceptance’ or ‘tolerance of drug abuse/ misuse in Vancouver.

Surrey, Abbotsford, North & West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond and many other cities have similar drug abuse problems.

Drug Prevention Education Vancouver

Kids in grade 10 in Vancouver high schools respond well when given the Truth about Drugs in a narrative style that holds back nothing from the kids. Kids know when they are being told the straight facts about drugs, alcohol and it’s effects on the person.

Narconon Vancouver Drug Education Responses

Here are a couple of responses from high school kids after 1 hour drug education presentations:

One of the counselors summarized the responses from the kids in these statements in a Thank You card:

“You were positively received by the majority of the students according to the follow-up evaluations. Some of the comments were:

• didn’t tell us what to do
• I learned about how drugs stay in your body
• answers all our questions with complete understanding
• liked the personal connection to his stories (open honesty)

I think your session worked really well and I hope to be in touch with you next year . .

Drug Prevention education in North Vancouver makes a difference for those high school kids who want to determine their own life directions. Drugs like marijuana, mushrooms, LSD and ecstasy have made their ways into North Van schools.

Drug Abuse In North Van Schools

How many kids are regular users of drugs in North Van? That differs from school to school and different age groups. The closer kids get to graduation, the more kids drop out due to drug use in earlier years.

One North Van school thought to be a school where kids supposedly smoke a lot of weed was found to be far less inclined to smoke up than reported.

Drug Prevention Talks, North Van

What about the clean and sober kids who are deciding which direction, to drugs or to be drug-free, they are going to go? When educators and drug prevention specialists bring the Truth About Drugs talks to these classrooms, kids make profound decisions which set them straight for life.

Drug Education in North Vancouver Schools

Booking talks for your North Van high school or elementary school is as easy as calling the Narconon Vancouver Society drug prevention education office and scheduling in times for a live presenter to attend your school classes.

Kids simply need to be given the real truth about drugs and alcohol so they can make up their own minds about their relationship to drugs and if it will be part of their lives.

When given the full truth about drugs, most kids who aren’t already addicted, choose to safeguard their own mind, body and future by being drug-free.

Have you ever wanted to just have someone tell you the truth about drugs? What they are? What drugs do? And in simplified ways so you could easily understand what drugs are about?

No Drug Use Agendas

Now, how about the truth about drugs without a vested interest or agenda in the back of that? If a speaker is getting paid by an agency which depends on pharmaceutical drug sales and services to get paid, you can be sure they won’t be saying anything negative about the drugs that their employer provides.

How about a drug education presentation talk with real life stories from those who have been there as users and tell how those drugs affected them. Also our speaker has decades of natural health and healing knowledge who works in the field of holistic health care.

Some drug facts:

According to drug abusers, methadone is way more difficult to kick than heroin, and much more painful. Science researchers found that developing kids taking Ritalin or any stimulant type of drug decreases blood flow and contributes to brain shrinkage before adulthood. The greatest dangers of marijuana use is that it distracts or nullifies kids from vitally important developmental progress, such as determining life long purposes.

All drug prevention education talks are discussed, diagrammed and are supplemented with real life stories and interactions with the audience.
