Helps them understand that staying healthy means taking care of your body and only using medicines that are prescribed for you.

This video is designed to be used over several sessions, with a built-in pause after each vignette for reinforcement activities: role-plays, handouts, games, and activity sheets.

Components: 16-minute video, teacher's guide with 16 student worksheets in 3-ring binder.
