Providing prevention services to Illinois

The following is a list of services that ROPES can provide or assist your school with.   All prevention curriculums offered by ROPES are model-based programs which have been proven to work and are approved by SAMHSA.

Project ALERT is a nationally recognized, middle grade, substance abuse program that gives students insight, understanding, and actual skills for resisting substance abuse.  Project ALERT addresses the substances teens are most likely to use (alcohol, tobacco, inhalants, and marijuana).

ROPES Prevention can offer schools and organizations in our service area informational materials such as pamphlets, posters, and flyers.  These materials cover not only substance abuse but many other topics as well, such as STDs, self-esteem, parenting, gambling, and anger/violence prevention.

Class Action is an 8 to 10 session curriculum that looks at the social and legal consequences of drinking by simulating a courtroom in the classroom.  Class Action is for grades 9-12.

The Illinois Youth Survey (IYS) is given to the 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grades every two years and is free of charge to participating schools.  The survey is a way for schools to accurately measure rates of youth substance abuse and violence among their students.

Too Good for Drugs (TGFD) is a school-based prevention program for kindergarten through 12th grade that builds children’s resiliency by teaching them how to be socially competent and autonomous problem solvers.
