Event Description

Keepin' It REAL (KIR)
The keepin’ it REAL (Refuse, Explain, Avoid, Leave) program is a video-enhanced intervention that uses a culturally-grounded resiliency model which incorporates traditional ethnic values and practices that protect against drug use. A school-based prevention program for elementary, middle, and early high school students 10 through 17 years of age, keepin’ it REAL is based on previous work that demonstrates that teaching communication and life skills can combat negative peer and other influences. keepin’ it REAL extends resistance and life-skills models by using a culturally-based narrative and performance framework to:
Enhance anti-drug norms and attitudes
Facilitate the development of risk assessment, decision-making, and resistance skills
keepin’ it REAL utilizes a 10-lesson classroom curriculum accompanied by a collection of five videos that demonstrate resistance strategies and illustrate the skills taught in the lessons.
