Todas las escuelas de BPS deberían tener un sistema intensivo anti-drogas para los adolescentes o preadolescentes que tienen problemas con las estupefacientes.
Who it helps and why
Últimamente muchos de nuestros adolescentes están cayendo en la moda de los cigarros electrónicos. Niños de hasta 7 grado están cada vez más involucrados en esta ola de querer normalizar drogarse. Esto está afectado su desempeño académico, conexiones familiares o interpersonales, estabilidad emocional y económica en el presente y futuro.
