Counselors from six school districts have been trained in a new curriculum to prevent drug and alcohol use and promote the mental health of students, thanks to the Communities That Care Coalition.
Nine counselors from the Greenfield School Department as well as the Gill-Montague, Mohawk Trail, Frontier, Pioneer Valley and Ralph C. Mahar regional school districts returned from April vacation having completed the three-day training that was funded by the Opioid Task Force of Franklin County and the North Quabbin Region.
Coalition Coordinator Kat Allen said the PreVenture Program teaches cognitive behavioral skills and motivational techniques to students in small group settings based on their personality types.
