Drug Education in Vancouver, Metro Vancouver including Burnaby, Richmond and Surrey, BC has access to the only known scientifically validated drug prevention program, The Narconon Drug Education Curriculum.

Narconon prevention education programs has worked with schools and community groups providing single educational modules aimed at supplementing existing classroom-based prevention activities.

1. DVD / Video School Drug Prevention Programs

Video School Prevention Education kits provide excellent supplementary tools for teachers already using a prevention curriculum. Video drug education can offer excellent supplemental information for kids.

The “Truth about Drugs” video series are simply presented in your classes. Ask about age appropriate programs. Video drug prevention programs are also beneficial in areas where a speaker may not be able to visit often.

2. Drug Education Speaker, Greater Vancouver, BC

Truth about drugs and alcohol are delivered to students using real stories, the anatomy of addiction, drug biochemistry, how drugs affect the body, mind and the person’s life.

Instead of telling kids what to do or how to act, drug prevention education educates teens about drugs and alcohol and the consequences of substance abuse in the present and future. Tibor teaches kids why to say no to drugs and alcohol, so kids decide for themselves not to abuse drugs.

Tibor Palatinus delivers drug prevention that is non-judgmental, focus’s on the harm of drugs and alcohol, and most importantly does not glorify drug use.

Effective drug education supports the efforts of the parents or teachers to educate kids about the dangers of using drugs. Effective drug education would demonstrate results in preventing youth from doing drugs.

Tibor delivers drug prevention education that is age appropriate, and that is easily understood by anyone.

Age Specific Drug Prevention Talks

Drug Education presentations should be geared specifically to the age level of the student’s participating. The appropriate program for a school or group can be determined through discussion with Tibor A. Palatinus, Drug Prevention Specialist.

Interactive audience participation is encouraged during and after the program. Talks are delivered throughout Greater Vancouver by request. Video programs are available for schools / groups across Canada.

For drug prevention programs to be more effective, a series of drug prevention talks on different factors of drug use needs to be done through out the year. Student questions have to be taken up and fully answered to the satisfaction of the student. Fun interactive talks are effective with all audiences, especially young kids. Mature teens want more real life consequences and facts about drug use. Drug functions should be simply explained. Supporting drug ed materiel should accompany prevention talks.
