Title:
Braking point program : risk reduction strategies for youth
Summary:
"Braking Point" is a new classroom educational tool created by MADD Canada that targets - and portrays - 14 to 18 year-olds who use and abuse alcohol and marijuana. The educational package and accompanying DVD dramatize real situations of alcohol and marijuana use as well as the risks and consequences of heavy use. "Braking Point" objectives are to: Create awareness of the risks and dangers involved in drinking and marijuana use and impaired driving; connect these risks to common settings and situations in which many teens find themselves; help them understand there are alternatives to dangerous risks; provide strategies, including abstinence, that help them practice those alternatives; and, reduce the deaths and injuries caused by impaired driving.
