Project TND is an effective, interactive classroom-based substance abuse prevention program that is based on more than two decades of successful research at the University of Southern California. Project TND focuses on three factors that predict tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use, violence-related behaviors, and other problem behaviors among youth, including:

 •Motivation factors (i.e., students' attitudes, beliefs, expectations, and desires regarding drug use);

 •Skills (effective communication, social self-control, and coping skills); and

 •Decision-making (i.e., how to make decisions that lead to health-promoting behaviors).

Training Information:

Participants will need to bring to the training a copy of the Teacher’s Manual and a Student Workbook (the game boards are not needed for the training, but each participant will need a game board when they  begin implementing TND with students).   Materials can be ordered on the TND website at http://tnd.usc.edu. Click on the tab “to purchase” and you’ll see the cost of materials listed and an ordering form that can be downloaded. Please place orders at least 3 weeks prior to your training to avoid any “rush” charges.
