Healthy Lifestyles Youth Cannabis Awareness & Education e-Learning
Healthy Lifestyles (HL) Youth Cannabis Awareness & Education e-Learning course is a social-emotional learning program that aims to educate youth (grades 5-7; ages ~10-14) about healthy choices related to life decisions and about Cannabis issues they are (or will be) confronting while equipping them with tools to address these challenges.
Though some may not like to believe it, the reality is that topics related to substances and substance use/abuse (including substances such as Cannabis [commonly referred to as slang terms such as marijuana, weed, grass, pot, dabs, etc.], Vaping, and Opioids) are inevitably going to come up for our youth. At YESS, our mission aims to give students the resources, knowledge, and confidence to make healthy decisions for themselves around these topics.
This e-Learning course is comprised of 9-Levels of engaging, gamified course content. The 9 levels include:
Level 1 Myths & Facts
