About Project Alert:
Project Alert is a two-year Core Curriciulum course offered through the Alton Police Department that uses the strategies of motivating students against drug use, provides skills and strategies to resist drug use, and establishes new non-use attitudes and beliefs. Today more than ever, teens need help resisting drugs. Project ALERT is a proven solution — a nationally recognized, 6th, 7th, & 8th grade, evidence-based program that gives students insight, understanding, and actual skills for resisting substance use. Project ALERT successfully addresses tobacco, alcohol, marijuana and inhalants, the substances teens are most likely to use. By shifting the pro-drug mindset, Project ALERT can have powerful results. Project Alert is taught through small group activities, role playing exercises, real life videos, and guided classroom discussions.
