Resource: Understanding Polysubstance Use and How to Make Health-Enhancing Choices
This lesson teaches a model of decision making that can help teens feel equipped and empowered to make decisions that maintain or improve their health and well-being. To put the decision-making model into practice, students will respond to scenarios involving polysubstance use, where they will apply the model. Each group will work through a given scenario, exploring options, considering outcomes, identifying the best option, developing action plans, and evaluating the decision. Through this process, students will develop the skills to make health-enhancing choices in challenging situations, as well as understand the risks of polysubstance use.
