Party 101: Consequences - Curriculum Guide
This Curriculum Guide is designed to
accompany the video Party 101: Consequences. Its purpose is to ignite a new
awareness and discussion among students, parents and teachers.
We want these materials to help empower young people to discover their own
solutions to lifethreatening behavior. In doing so, we hope they will come to
understand how valuable they are in our families and communities.
This guide presents an overview and ideas to jump-start discussions, and it
presents activities for students, parents and teachers.
