Meth:  Myths vs. Realities - A Meth prevention curriculum designed as a single session add-on component for Life Skills Training and the Strengthening Families Program, but adaptable to other evidence-based programs.  The curriculum consists of an activity where participants identify whether commonly heard information about Meth is a myth or a reality. Information is based on the most current scientific research available at the time of publication. Core curriculum materials include the Teacher's Guide and Myths vs. Realities Cards. Lesson plans for Life Skills Training and the Strengthening Families Program are also available. This curriculum has not been tested for effectiveness in the classroom.
