This is Your Brain on Alcohol DVD is great for Red Ribbon Week or Alcohol Prevention Program

High school students present to middle school students some on studies that show how the brain is a complex organ that builds its basic capacities and potential for the future during adolescent years.  Alcohol use during this time has a major impact because it disrupts the growing brain's plasticity (encoding and programming process), which in turn impairs its response to stimuli essential to learning and memory.  The message is clear: Alcohol use is not healthy and not cool; most kids do not use it; and those who do risk irreversible damage to their developing brains.  Includes Resource Guidebook.  Grades 5-9
