Reality Check


Reality Check Version 2.0 is the latest revision of the curriculum created by Northern Lights Youth Services for elementary students. Reality Check is a series of seven lessons for grades 4, 5, and 6, facilitated by our high school SADD students. The lessons integrate the following seven key themes:

  • Respect for self
  • Respect for others
  • Alcohol and the brain
  • Other drugs
  • Peer pressure & relationships
  • Other destructive behaviors
  • Leadership & life after elementary school
    		•   

    Reality Check v. 2.0 includes strategies for engaging parents in a discussion of the issues and promoting parent-child communication. Program evaluation is provided by the UND Center for Rural Health.
