ADAPP is excited to announce a major refresh of our RRR (Refuse, Remove, Reasons) curriculum videos! 🌟
Our incredible counselors—Maria, Paulette, and Jennifer—teamed up with the production pros at CWK Networks to bring new life to this essential high school program. But the real stars? The amazing students from Preston HS, Sacred Heart HS, and Cardinal Hayes HS who joined the conversation.
Together, they spent the morning discussing the real challenges youth face today—from peer pressure to making healthy decisions about alcohol and to***co. Authentic voices. Real talk. Updated for a new generation.
A huge thank you to Maria, Jennifer, and Paulette for leading the charge!
