Ask, Listen, Learn’s underage drinking and marijuana use prevention resources have expanded to include Kahoot games to use with students.

This year for Teacher Appreciation Week—just like in years past—we want to say two simple words to educators everywhere: THANK YOU

One essential partner in schools that can tie these efforts together is school administrators. These educators are such an important part of establishing a school culture that fosters development. So from all of us to you: THANK YOU, PRINCIPALS.

Each year, the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recognizes National School Counseling Week to celebrate the unique and important work of school counselors across the country. Not only do school counselors support students in achieving academic and career success, but they play a critical role in helping students stay safe and healthy.

It’s hard to believe 2019 is almost over! We’ve had a great year thanks to all of YOU who have supported us in helping kids say “YES” to a healthy lifestyle and “NO” to underage drinking.

Working together, we can teach our students to say “YES” to a healthy lifestyle and “NO” to underage drinking during the school year and beyond.

The Ask, Listen, Learn team continues to learn and gain insight from educators–even over the summer!

We have partnered with Discovery Education to launch new materials for teachers, school counselors, nurses, parents and students that dive into the science behind how alcohol affects developing brains, bodies and behavior. Join us of April 11 for a virtual Day of Learning on twitter using #BrainBodyBehavior starting at 10AM EST.

Tuesday, January 22 marks the start of National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week – an excellent opportunity to start–or continue–the conversation about underage drinking with your kids and students.
