Let’s Talk CPS: Community, Prevention, and substance-Support 

Let’s Talk CPS delivers evidence-based, trauma-informed educational workshops about substance use prevention in school settings. Based on curriculum developed by the Stanford REACH lab, I+HEAL team members partner with district officials to bring tailored, in-person workshops to individual schools, caregiver groups, and staff training settings. These workshops aim to enhance understanding of substance use prevention through a harm-reduction lens by providing introductory workshops and equipping school staff with resources to continue these conversations in their communities. 

Our team currently partners with Chicago Public Schools, private schools, and charter schools in the Chicagoland area and virtually across the nation. If you are interested in bringing substance use education to your school community, please contact _______ for more information.
