Independent Study
An
independent study of the Narconon Drug Education program conducted by FASE
(Foundation for Advancements in Science and Education) in Los Angeles
concluded: "Changes in those who had indicated that they might use drugs were
quite pronounced. Responses clearly indicated a heightened awareness of the
adverse effects caused by drug abuse. Comments indicating that they would now
never use drugs were common."
What Kids
Say....
The Narconon program changes kids
minds about using drugs. The simplest demonstration of the success of the
Narconon program is to hear it from the students themselves. The following are
just a few responses following a Narconon presentation:
"What's
up, Tony" I wanted to thank you for coming. I was expecting
some boring lecture, however it was a fun cool talk!. I
learned about drugs I was planning to try but now I
won't...I'd just rather feel good naturally."
"I
thought it was good that he told us the story about LSD because I thought it
was a safe drug. I also learned how harmful weed was I thought that was
harmless."
"My thoughts about drugs had
changed. I used to think drugs were cool. I thought since everybody does it. I
should do it too. Now I realize that drugs are bad."
"What I
learned from the talk will stay with me for the rest of my
life and I can not only use it for myself to help me make
good decisions but also to help others around me."
A
Letter From a Student:
"I wanted to write this
letter to you to thank you for coming to our calss and
sharing what you know. It has helped me to keep away from
drugs. Before you came to talk to us I was planning to pop
an ecstasy pill that same weekend and you have made me
change my mind.
Also I used to smoke weed and
I have been sober for four months. After you talked about
how much chemicals weed has you have made me keep being
sober. Thank you because now every time I feel the need to
do something I won't because I will not put my life in
danger. I hope you come back to our school again and give
another presentation.
Thank you, (name)
What Educators Say....
"I,
personally, was very moved by the presentation. I also learned new information
along with our students. I believe, after hearing the presentation myself, that
this program can truly save lives as well as help people make decisions that
will lead them towards productive lives." - School Principal
"Often children are misinformed
about the painful effects of alcohol and drug use or abuse. The Narconon
presenter was able to clear up the myths and misunderstandings about substance
use and abuse. In addition to his charismatic teaching approach, his
willingness to share his own struggle with substance abuse encouraged our
students to actively listen and learn from his presentation." - School
