For the past 2 years, the LifeSkills Training curriculum has been taught in the Audubon Community School 9th grade and the Exira Elk Horn Kimballton School 8th grade health classes.

LifeSkills Training has received positive feedback. Audubon health teacher, Liz Stein, commented, “Life Skills curriculum benefits our students by facilitating an organized format for learning important life skills. The program not only presents reasons why students shouldn’t use tobacco, drugs, and alcohol, but it also teaches the knowledge and skills necessary for increasing self-esteem, making decisions, solving problems, communicating effectively, managing anxiety, standing up for themselves, and resisting peer-pressure.” Exira-EHK health teacher, Lisa Dreier made the statement, “The program gives the student information and skills to resist alcohol and make good decisions. The LifeSkills curriculum is a great program that will help our students with skills for the rest of their lives!” A great deal of positive prevention skills are being developed through LifeSkills Training.
