Alcohol: What About It? helps students become aware of immediate and far-reaching effects of alcohol use.

It explores these topics:

• What about the effects of alcohol use and abuse?

• What about strategies for dealing with stress, conflict, or negative feelings?

• What about decision-making, problem-solving, and assertiveness skills?

• What about the value of supportive personal relationships at home, at school, and in the community?

This positive program stresses the values of self-reliance, self-care, personal responsibility, and individualism in the face of choices that affect health and well-being. "... the program teaches children the steps to making good choices, and how to stick by them. This valuable life skill works for much more than just alcohol use."
