360 Youth Services implements the Too Good For Drugs (TGFD) evidence-based drug education curriculum. TGFD is a school-based program designed to reduce students’ intention to use alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, while promoting prosocial attitudes, skills, and behaviors. The program seeks to build the self-confidence of students so they are better able to make healthy choices and achieve success. TGFD specifically emphasizes five social and emotional learning skills that have been shown to promote healthy development and academic success.

360 Youth Services Prevention staff implement the middle school curriculum. The curriculum is delivered for a minimum of two years, designed to build off the previous grade level, requiring students to develop skills and use these skills year after year. The lessons are delivered once a week and are highly interactive so students have the opportunity to participate, learn, and receive recognition for their participation. Each lesson promotes the opportunity for cooperative learning, role play, small group activity, games, class discussions, and skill-building exercises. The curriculum typically consists of ten forty minute lessons with an additional lesson on opioids:
