Ongoing Online Training

Umatter®: Preventing Substance Abuse in the School Community

Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs Education (ATOD) Two Hour Online Short Course (K-12)

It is widely recognized that problems related to drug use, misuse, and abuse pervade our society at all levels. While use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATOD) can have a profound effect on many important aspects of an individual’s life, including mental, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual health and success in school and/or work, very few people have had any direct education about factors related to drug use. Education at the school and community level is critical to reducing problems that arise from ATOD use.
