Girls Inc. Friendly PEERsuasionSM
Why This Program? Girls deserve healthful environments, but they face many pressures that hinder their ability to make smart choices concerning the use of legal and illicit substances. Girls often are induced to use alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs to become or stay slim, manage stress, appear mature, be popular with peers of both sexes, or escape overwhelming problems.
About the Program
Friendly PEERsuasionSM responds to the needs of girls of all ages because it approaches drug abuse prevention as a peer issue,
using the positive influence of young people modeling healthy behavior. This program begins by helping girls deal with the influences of peers.
Participants build communication skills, learn to recognize stress, how to create boundaries, and learn how to respond to stress in healthy ways— this will enhance their decision-making and resistance skills.
