Peer Prevention Project

The goal of the Peer Prevention Project is to create overdose prevention materials that are designed for and with youth and delivered by youth.

What we’re doing: Across 10 advisory group meetings, students at the John D. O’Bryant School have created overdose prevention materials for other students. They’re also building a tool that lets others give feedback on the materials they create.

Updates: The students have created their curriculum materials, and they’re now refining to make sure the content, and delivery is best suited for their peers.
