Additional Resources for Families:

· NIDA’s (National Institute for Drug Addiction) Toolkit for Out of School Time offers science-based activities and resources on drug use and addiction for educating teens during out of school time (OST). The OST setting—before and after school, in the summer, or any time teens attend a supervised program outside of the typical school time—offers a unique opportunity for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) learning.
