Too Good is a comprehensive family of evidence-based substance use and violence prevention interventions designed to mitigate the risk factors linked to problem behaviors and build protection within the child to resist problem behaviors.
Too Good develops and reinforces a comprehensive skills framework including setting reachable goals, making responsible decisions, identifying and managing emotions, and effective communication in addition to peer-pressure refusal, pro-social peer bonding, and peaceful conflict resolution skills.
Too Good builds the basis for a safe, supportive, and respectful learning environment.
Prevention Framework
Effective prevention programs like Too Good promote skills development and educate youth about the effects and consequences of risky behaviors like engaging in substance use and violence. Because the delivery of information alone rarely changes behaviors, and because other informative or emotional appeal strategies like didactic lectures, scare tactics, alarming statistics, or infrequent or single event presentations have proven to be ineffective in reducing or deterring risky behaviors in children and youth, Too Good takes a skills-based approach to prepare children and adolescents to make healthy responsible decisions.
Too Good programs are based in sound development and prevention theory. They use a strengths-based approach that builds on strengths and wellness as part of a strategy to address risk aiming to build protective factors. Too Good programs are interactive and hands-on providing opportunities for skills building and skills application. Students learn in a fun environment with interactive games, activities, and role-play. This program is INTERACTIVE, not lecture-based.
