Let’s Talk Prevention: Actions You Can Take Student Modules

If you have been searching for free educational resources, you’ve landed in the right place! During these unprecedented times, Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition (MBCC) is pleased to provide materials for educators and students looking to enhance our new “normal” of teaching and learning from home, in the classroom, or in a hybrid model of the two.

The Let’s Talk Prevention: Actions You Can Take (LTP) environmental education program was initially designed as stand-alone classroom modules designed to supplement current science, health, and environmental studies curriculums by providing real-world application of scientific content knowledge. This program is an extension of MBCC’s award-winning Let’s Talk Prevention: Reducing Toxic Exposures community education program and tour that informs communities across the Commonwealth about the environmental risks of breast cancer and other diseases.
