Three paths to prevention
Virtual
Our virtual program allows students to watch Operation Aware at their own pace over an eight-week time period. Students are encouraged to use an online survey to submit questions that can be answered on social media.
Virtual Plus
Virtual Plus provides a more personal touch. Students can watch the lesson as a class or independently and then sign on to meet with their Prevention Educator once a week to discuss what they learned.
In-Person
For those schools with an option to meet in person, our staff is ready to hit the ground running. Our signature eight-week program utilizes fun activities, engaging visuals, and informative videos all presented in an open discussion format by one of our trained Prevention Educators.
