Teacher Workshop for implementing our curriculum 'Learning Prevention Using Lakota Values'. This is a culturally designed life skills course. The course increases the student's knowledge of the cycle of addiction and gives the student insight and tools on what alcohol and drugs not only do to the physical body, but also to ones' mental, emotional, and spiritual body and assists them in making healthy choices.
