The Great Body Shop The Children’s Health Market proudly introduces THE GREAT BODY SHOP, our nationally recognized comprehensive health and substance abuse prevention program used by preschool, elementary and middle schools throughout the US. The program meets all state and national standards, is affordable, easy to teach, and provides an educational environment in which it is enjoyable to learn. Too Good for Drugs Too Good for Drugs™ K–8 is a school-based prevention program designed to reduce risk factors and enhance protective factors related to alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD) use among students. Too Good for Drugs™ K-8 has a separate, developmentally-appropriate curriculum for each grade level for Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. Each curriculum builds on earlier grade levels, an instructional design which enables students to learn important skills sequentially and retain them year after year. Too Good for Violence Too Good for Violence™ K-8 is a school-based prevention program that uses the same research, theories, strategies and format that propelled Too Good for Drugs to national prominence, including Model Program designation from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Too Good for Violence™ K-8 addresses the most significant risk and protective factors at each developmental level to help students learn the skills and attitudes they need to get along peacefully with others.

All-Stars This is a "character-in-action" program. Many schools use character education in elementary school, but in middle school they are faced with more real-world character application. All-Stars prepares middle school students for the challenges they will face through activities that teach critical thinking skills and problem-solving skills in collaborative classroom activities. All-Stars is designed for drug and violence prevention by making students aware of the personal consequences of their choices, reinforcing positive behavior, and making a public commitment to not use drugs or violence. Project ALERT We have told students for years to "Just Say No!" Through Project ALERT, we can teach students how to say "No!" Combining classroom activities and multimedia presentations, Project ALERT focuses on developing the resistance skills it takes for students to stop using illegal drugs. While basic drug information is presented, the program's emphasis is on what to do when confronted with the peer pressure to use.

Project Toward No Drug Abuse (TND) We know from survey research that the time at which the most students try drugs is 9th grade. This is one of the few drug prevention programs approved for high school, specifically 9th and 10th grade. Classroom activities help students talk about the real pressures they face to use drugs, and how difficult it is to stop using drugs once a person starts. Non-threatening games and group activities help students to examine their lives and how they want to live individually to achieve positive goals. Warning Signs of Teen Suicide Don't ignore the warning signs of suicide! The third leading cause of death among youth age 12-17, suicide is the least discussed act of violence in schools. Signs of Suicide is the only nationally approved program to address the issue by combining awareness information with a simple screening tool. Students learn how to identify the signs that a friend may be thinking about suicide, and how to get help for their friend in a non-threatening way without being a "narc." The program only takes one class period, but it can help students for a lifetime. Too Good for Drugs and Violence Too Good for Drugs & Violence High School is a comprehensive prevention education program for high school students. Designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need to remain safe and drug free, this program builds on the core concepts of Too Good for Violence K-8 and Too Good for Drugs K-8.
