(CAP) The Children Are People (CAP) chemical dependency prevention program for schools combines a six -week (30- lesson) classroom curriculum that involves the community which surrounds the child. The curriculum and Community Model Components are offered to schools as a packaCe. The K -6 sequential curriculum focuses on subject areas such as feelings, defenses, decision making and coping skills, chemical dependency, family, and specialness. The CAP curriculum was developed after studying groups of adolescents who were abusing chemicals. These adolescents had three characteristics in common: low self worth, poor decision - making skills and unhealthy coping skills. The Children Are People curriculum focuses on these three topics. This program uses a unique approach in teaching chemical dependency prevention. Instead of concentrating on the pharmacological aspects of chemicals, the curriculum emphasizes the sociological and emotional implications of chemical dependency. Differences are no".ed between chemical use and harmful chemical abuse. For example, starting in kindergarten the curriculum introduces the reponsible use of prescription drugs and medications, such as aspirin and vitamins. As the program progresses to sixth grade, the influence of peer pressure and persuasion is discussed in terms of chemical use.

Updating young people on the harmful effects of drugs. Interviews of young people on what they thought about drug use and the effect of drugs on their friE,nds. Their observation and reporting on drug eftects that corresponded to current research data. Statements such as marijuana "shot my memory as full of holes as Swiss Cheese" corresponded to research studies on the effect of smoking on short term memory. One young man related a retarded growth pattern to his friend's chronic pot smoking (hormonal effect). Some young people described the difficulty of saying "no" at a party (peer pressure) . Others described students who smoked before school, at mid - morning break and just couldn't get through the day without marijuana (prevalence data and drug dependence). Why some young people did not use drugs and were able to say "no" when tempted. Questions along these lines produced an abundance of activities that were preferred over drug use. Many of these activities produced what the young people called a "good feeling " or a feeling that no drug could replace" (pleasure) and seemed to serve them well at the time that they wanted to "get away from it all" (escape). As you view the film, please note that the comments of the narrator about the health effects of drugs often correspond to the young people's comments which are based on their observations. Also, many healthy and fulfilling activities are available to teenagers who prefer not to use drugs. Upper elementary through adult. CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE - 28 minutes. Color. 1973.
