Addiction Prevention Education for Yeshiva Students

Programs for Middle and High School Students

We all know that our children face (or will soon encounter) some very difficult choices with regard to alcohol and drugs. Studies show that children are exposed to substances at alarmingly young ages. Feelings of curiosity, insecurity, or wanting to "escape" lead our children to try substances.

It’s Not About If, But When…

We know it’s just a matter of time before our children are exposed to drugs and alcohol, if they haven’t been already. Our programs are not about scaring our children, but teaching them that substances are dangerous to their developing brains and bodies. We empower them with facts and help them develop refusal skills so they can make informed and healthy choices when it comes to substance use.

"The CCSA program at our high school provided a comprehensive approach to engaging our students and parents around the critical issue of substance abuse in the community. The program was creative and compelling, and sensitively provided crucial information about substance abuse prevention, education and peer pressure refusal skills, in a dynamic, supportive and relatable manner. We look forward to a continued collaboration with CCSA in the years to come!"

"We are so grateful to CCSA for the presentations offered to our student and parent bodies about teen substance abuse and addiction. The opportunity for students to learn about these topics and ask their questions in an informative, non-judgmental space is invaluable. We greatly appreciate Etiel and Lianne Forman for generously sharing their experiences and perspective with our parent body. Thank you, CCSA, for doing such important work for our community!"

"We had the pleasure of having the CCSA substance abuse awareness program for the past two years at BPY. This program, which was carefully designed for yeshiva students, is incredibly informative and engaging. Students' attention was kept by the presenters who focused on various challenges that the students may face, providing effective tools and strategies to utilize in these situations. I would highly recommend this program and look forward to future programs at BPY."

"Communities Confronting Substance Abuse and the Formans are doing such an incredible job of assisting schools in educating staff, students, and parents on the risks and impact of adolescent substance abuse. Their knowledge and experience, both personal and professional, are what makes their message understandable, relatable and effective. Thank you!"
