Community Programs
We provide over 250 workbooks, program activity materials, and similar resources to over 300 programs
nationwide. Our resources are especially affordable, as we provide you the rights to make unlimited copies for use
in your community programs. You can buy substance abuse curriculum or gang intervention and gang prevention curriculum workbooks with
this year’s funds and use them for years.
Our evidence-based resources address the most critical personal, environmental, and community risk factors, and build on the most
important protective factors and assets. They are based on time-proven concepts of cognitive-behavioral therapy
(CBT), motivational enhancement (MET), the social learning model, and key coping and problem solving skills for
both positive social development and relapse prevention (self-efficacy). The workbooks are easy to implement by
community volunteers, as well as educators, community police officers, counselors, and other professionals. These evidence-based
workbooks assist staff and clients in identifying specific issues and developing concrete alternatives. Our resources
include gender-specific materials for women, and over 50 workbooks are available in Spanish. We also provide
ice-breaking and "program start-up" activities appropriate to different age groups and certain workbooks are also
provided in elementary, middle school, and high school-aged versions - as well as for adult men and women.
