Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug (ATOD)
Education Services
Backed by 20 years of experience implementing ATOD Education in Vermont, our staff and consultants provide training and technical assistance at the state and local level.

At the Center for Health and Learning (CHL) we believe that the multiple causes of substance abuse call for multiple solutions in the community and school setting. Our staff and seasoned consultants employ a number of strategies with a strong risk management approach.  These strategies include:

• ATOD education of school staff, community professionals and parents to engender preventive norms and attitudes and appropriate responses within the school, the community and at home;
• Development and implementation of school, work site and community policies and protocols;
• Establishment of key norms in the school climate and assets in the school community to foster healthy kids and support learning;
• Implementation of research-based ATOD education with pre-K-12 students;
• Community-based ATOD prevention and early intervention programming with community-based coalitions, organizations and groups that serve youth inside and outside the school environment;
• Implementation of effective support, referral and deterrence systems;
• Development of comprehensive and coordinated prevention services and systems;
• Evaluation design for assessing ATOD program development.
