Prime for Life

Prime for Life is an alcohol and drug program for people of all ages. It is designed to gently but powerfully challenge common beliefs and attitudes that directly contribute to high-risk alcohol and drug use. The program goals are to reduce the risk for health problems and impairment problems.

A primary goal of Prime for Life is prevention of any type of alcohol or drug problem. This includes prevention of health problems such as alcoholism, or impairment problems such as car crashes or fights. Emphasis is on knowing and understanding risks one can and cannot change.

Using a persuasion-based approach, instructors use a variety of delivery methods, including interactive presentations and small group discussion. Participants use workbooks throughout the course to complete a number of individual and group activities. Material is presented in a DVD platform with animation, full motion clips, and audio clips to enhance the learning experience.

Several themes run throughout Prime for Life. The first is an emphasis on the reality that while all of us can influence another person drinking choices to some degree, none of us can directly control those choices.

Second, Prime for Life is based on objective, documented research findings, not opinion, exaggerations or scare tactics. Third, Prime for Life focuses on information that is needed to bring about behavior change. Participants are not expected to remember the details of the research cited. The content is only one tool used in the persuasion process.

What participants will remember is the critical conclusions that come from hearing the information. Who can experience alcohol and drug problems? How do I estimate biological risk? How do I know what low risk is and how have my alcohol and drug choices progressed? The carefully selected, research based information also provides the credibility needed to promote change.

If your child has been referred to take the Prime for Life class, this is what you do.
