7 Natural High Activities to Get Kids Excited About Prevention:

Public Service Announcement
Work in groups to create a public service announcement (PSA) for your school or local community. These PSAs can be in the form of posters, podcasts, videocasts, or an alternative you design that will help you get your message across.

Spreading Resilience
Create an educational message to encourage resilience. Resilience is the trait or character strength that allows us to overcome frustrations and setbacks, finish whatever we begin, and generally push on toward our goals.

Host a Crucial Conversation
Plan an event that will bring together students, teachers, parents, and administrators to talk about the real dangers of stress and peer pressure and the reality of its existence in the community. The hope is to start a conversation that will continue and hold all stakeholders accountable.

Busting Myths
Create a short video to present the myth that most teens use drugs. Then “bust” that myth with statistics about actual teen drug usage and the real consequences of drug use.

Prompt a Family Conversation
Build relationships and connections through conversation and interaction with your family and/or other adult mentors in your life. You will develop prompts and questions to use in order to start and continue a conversation.

NIDA Drug & Alcohol IQ Quiz
Take the National Drug & Alcohol IQ Challenge and generate a list of resources for yourself and others. Signing the Natural High pledge and including your parent or guardian can help you keep yourself accountable to making good decisions.
