Texas Opioid Prevention for Students: Think Smart

Complete Attendance not available before workshop starts.

Presented by: Center for Community Health and Aging | Texas A&M University
Think Smart Instructor Training
Join us for a dynamic 4-hour interactive instructor training designed to equip school educators and staff with the tools to deliver Think Smart, a 5-week opioid misuse prevention curriculum tailored for students in grades 4 through 12. Think Smart is designed to help children and teens build confidence, understand opioid misuse risks, and make healthy choices. The program also includes fentanyl education.
This engaging training will walk participants through the curriculum’s age-appropriate content, focusing on increasing knowledge, developing problem-solving and refusal skills, applying harm-reduction strategies, and fostering healthy decision-making. The training offers hands-on activities, strategies to facilitate engaging class discussion, and classroom management techniques for effective student engagement.
By the end of this session, facilitators will:
• Understand the goals and structure of the 5-week curriculum
• Learn how to adapt content for various grade levels
• Gain skills to create a safe and inclusive learning environment
• Practice delivering interactive components of the curriculum
• Be prepared to lead impactful opioid misuse prevention sessions with confidence
Think Smart training is ideal for school educators and school counselors as well as mental health specialists. Let’s work together to promote awareness, resilience, and opioid prevention skills in Texas youth!
