Don't do Drugs - they harm your brain.

PLAN for GOOD Behavior	"Teaching children the important things, one kid at a time..."

DON'T DO DRUGS!

How can you keep kids safe through the teen years? I made these little videos to help.

I made this little video to help children learn that drugs can harm your brain.

You can use the information contained in this guide to educate your kids about the dangers of drug addiction.

Just like a computer can become damaged and stop working right, our brains can be hurt if exposed to illegal drugs. A brain that can think is a wonderful thing! Don't throw it away just because someone tells you it might be fun. It won't be fun at all if you lose your ability to think straight.

SAFETYZONE!

Drugs and Alcohol can give a sense of FALSE FREEDOM that can lead to bad decisions, poor behavior, panic and fear - and can lead to jail or even mental illness. If you or a relative have a diagnosis of a mental disorder, or a genetic predisposition to mental illness, there's even more reason to stay away from non prescription drugs and alcohol, that can bring on those problems.
