Don’t Do It! Ineffective Prevention Strategies
Prevention pioneers have learned much about ineffective programming and strategies that practitioners have a responsibility not to repeat. Ineffective strategies include scare tactics and moralistic appeals, curricula that relies solely on information about drugs and their dangers, curricula that work only to promote self-esteem and emotional well-being, and one time assemblies, events or testimonials.
The future of any society depends on its ability to foster the health and well-being of the next generation. Stated simply, today’s children will become tomorrow’s citizens, workers, and parents. When we invest wisely in children and families, the next generation will pay that back through a lifetime of productivity and responsible citizenship. When we fail to provide children with what they need to build a strong foundation for healthy and productive lives, we put our future prosperity and security at risk.
