Youth with Special Needs: Habit Free for Me

by McMillen Health

Giving students facts about maintaining their health will encourage them to make daily choices which become lifelong healthy habits. Students will focus on decisions about choosing role models, sleeping, eating healthy foods, exercising, and holding a positive attitude and learning how to refuse a drug are age appropriate life skills. Students will learn the effects of alcohol, tobacco and misuse of prescription medications, and students will gain an understanding why choosing to be free of a drug habit is truly important.
