Educator/Teacher Resources
2022 Prom Toolkit
We are aware that many traditional approaches to addressing youth substance use (e.g., zerotolerance policies, abstinence-only education, etc.) have limited effectiveness and can produce unintended negative consequences. As a result, this toolkit takes a harm reduction approach and aims to reduce the social and health harms related to alcohol and substance use. The goal is to support and encourage healthy behaviours and good decision-making. This resource includes information on the risks of using alcohol and substances and encourages youth to celebrate in a safer, less harmful way on their prom night.
The purpose of this toolkit is to provide school administrators, teachers, students, and parents/caregivers with resources and messaging that encourages students to have fun on their prom night while making decisions to celebrate in safer ways.
The toolkit contains the following components:
- Student Party PROMise Pledge and Photo Op Card
- Celebrate Safer On Prom Night-Information Sheet
- A Lesson on Consent
- Protect Yourself from Sexual Violence: Tip Sheet
- White Ribbon Resource Card
- How to Talk to Your Teenager About Prom- A Resource for Parents
- Social Media Messages
- Announcements
- Links to Resources
