Paper People
Paper People is CARE's Early Childhood Life-Skills and Drug Prevention Program.
"Kids who began drinking before the age of fifteen are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence than those who wait until age 21." (Source: The Anti-Drug.com)
The goal of Paper People is to promote ways for children to be safe and healthy. Our trained volunteer presenters deliver the Paper People program in eight (8) thirty-minute sessions. Key messages include:
- Caring about themselves and others
- What helps their bodies grow and work; what doesn't
- Rules about medicine, alcohol, and tobacco.
- Expressing their feelings in a safe and healthy way.
- How and who to ask for help
