The purpose of the Emily’s Hope Substance Use Prevention Curriculum is to provide age-appropriate, promising practice education to help children understand their brains, the effects of substances on their health, and how to make informed decisions about substance use.

Currently, the curriculum is available for grades K-8, with high school in development. Each grade level has a specific focus, with lessons tailored to the students’ developmental stage and understanding.

Teachers can access the curriculum by signing up for the Teacher Hub, which contains lesson plans, videos, resources, and a community of educators.

Each lesson includes digital or printable lesson plans, animated videos, and a song. Additionally, there is a book and the ability to quickly add lesson materials to Google Classroom. Each grade level includes free e-books.
