Event Description

mportant! Please read below for curriculum information!

Protecting You/Protecting Me (PY/PM) ® is a 5-year, classroom-based alcohol-use prevention curriculum for elementary students in grades one through five (6 to 11 years old). Designed to reduce alcohol-related injury and death in our nation’s youth, PY/PM—

-- Is proven to change children's knowledge about their brains and personal development
-- Increase children’s intentions not to ride with an impaired driver
-- Improves children’s vehicle safety skills—their ability to protect themselves when they have no option but to ride with an adult who is not alcohol-free.

Because the program is delivered in elementary school, it reaches children before they have fully formed their attitudes toward alcohol. The curriculum—
-- Incorporates the latest research on human brain development
-- Focuses on the immediate risks of using alcohol before age 21
-- Includes parental involvement activities

The program can be taught by trained high school students, as well as by teachers, with student teachers deriving short-term outcomes including reduced alcohol use and increased perceptions of the risks of underage alcohol use.

All program materials are available in English and Spanish.
