Growing up today is harder than ever. Between academic pressure, social media, peer influence, and constant stress, many students are expected to “figure it out” on their own — often without the tools they need.
HC DrugFree is offering a FREE, evidence-based Life Skills program designed to give Howard County students practical skills they can actually use. This 8-class virtual series helps students learn how to manage stress, handle peer pressure, communicate effectively, build confidence, and make healthy decisions before challenges become crises.
What makes this program unique is that classes are taught by trained Howard County college students, creating a supportive near-peer environment where students feel understood, heard, and engaged.
🖥 Classes are held on Zoom on Wednesdays from 5:15–6:45 p.m.
📅 Dates: February 25; March 4, 11, 18, 25; April 8, 22, 29
👥 Middle and high school students are encouraged to attend, and siblings/friends are welcome
🎓 Community service hours are available for instructional team members.
These classes are more than lessons — they’re an investment in confidence, resilience, and lifelong skills that support healthy choices and stronger futures.
