Who Is It For?

Prime Focus provides easily accessible alcohol and drug information with the goal of preventing problems. We explore low-risk guidelines: What use (if any) is low-risk for most people, and why.

Participants are guided through activities and learning modules intended to open eyes to the possibility of problems occurring, and promote deep commitment to low-risk choices and protecting their values.

It’s designed for universal prevention audiences of any age, from middle school onward! Everyone must make choices around alcohol and drugs. Let’s talk about the low-risk ones and the positive impact they can have across the lifespan.
