[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m also curious about this. While the old DARE was found to be ineffective, the new DARE is evidence based and is very effective. Does anyone know what APS uses? My kids are so young but I’ve been alarmed about the increase in drug use in the county. Here is more about the new DARE:

PP here. I had the same thought but if you read the article you will see that the name is different.

If they've found something that works, it's a huge mistake to name it after the thing that doesn't.[/quote][/quote]

It isn’t. If you read the article you will see that it’s called Keeping It Real. It’s interactive and involves a lot of role playing. The instructor speaks for 8 mins maximum and the rest of the time, the students role play being in a tough situation and having to make a tough decision. It isn’t  focused on drugs but on how to make the best decision when you are in a dangerous situation. It is very practical and skill focused.[/quote]
