About the Brain

Submitted by admin on

For Back to School, BrainAbouts suggests beginning the year by watching About the Brain and About Risky Behavior to set the stage for your prevention program. These two videos offer the science behind the reason to say 'no' to high-risk behavior: to protect the developing brain. Use the BrainAbouts Handouts in-class and at home as a discussion guide.
