Children singing "No, to Drugs!"

Children practicing refusal skills,
saying "No" to alcohol.

Drug Awareness Prevention Program (DAPP), a wellness curriculum, is an 8-part program for children pre-kindergarten through third grade. It is used by teachers, child care workers, elementary school counselors, after-school program leaders, and prevention specialists.

The "No Use" Drug Awareness Prevention Program (DAPP) is an inclusive, easy-to-use, character building, violence prevention program. The eight session program promotes self-understanding, respect, empathy, positive behaviors, coping skills, resiliency, social competence, responsibility, problem solving skills, refusal skills, and healthy living habits.

"I am very excited about DAPP. It is a comprehensive, motivating, self-esteem program..." - Carol Martin, school counselor

"DAPP was found to be scientifically accurate, in conformance with public health principles and policies, and appropriate for the intended audience." - Judith E. Funkhouser, Director, National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information
