Too Good For Drugs (TGFD) is a school-based prevention program, designated a Model Program by SAMHSA and designed to reduce risk factors and enhance protective factors related to (Alcohol, Tobacco, & other Drugs) ATOD use among students. TGFD has a separate, developmentally appropriate curriculum for each grade level, K through 12. Each curriculum builds on earlier grade levels, an instructional design which enables students to learn important skills sequentially and retain them year after year.

TGFD builds five essential life skills:

• goal setting
• decision making
• bonding with pro-social others
• identifying and managing emotions
• communicating effectively

During the 10 session program, students are provided information and opportunity to practice skills; home workout exercises are also encouraged so that parents can reinforce the skill building and utilize strategies that lead to improved relationships with their youth.

Family-Child Resources is pleased to offer programs for elementary through high school students in York and/or Adams counties through funding from the York/Adams Drug and Alcohol Program.
