The Gateway Drug Peer Educators have done a great job this year making numerous presentations in BVSD middle schools. These high school students have dedicated much time and effort to provide valuable education and resources to middle school students on gateway drugs. Classroom presentations have included information on addiction, peer pressure, and making good decisions.
A new group of Gateway Drug Peer Educators was recruited in September 2008. Comprehensive training included, but was not limited to, interpersonal skills, public speaking, gateway drugs, stages of change, and health content.
