The purpose of Drug Education and "The Way to Happiness" is to show that true happiness and satisfaction in life come from pursuing ones goals and being part of making the world a better place. The Peer Leader Training course is offered as a way to learn techniques that can be used to uplift others. Three ‘assists’ are learnt. These are simple techniques that can make one feel healthier, happier, more alert, alive and extroverted. As part of the course they have to apply each of these assists to three friends or family members and have that person write down what they got out of it. Upon successful completion they receive a certificate and a badge that can be worn on their uniform. Below are some excerpts from the practicals:
A "Locational Assist" is designed to extrovert a person so they are brighter, more aware and happier.
A "Nerve Assist" consists of a light brushing of the nerve channels from the spine to ease built up tension.
A "Havingness Assist" is a way of increasing a person’s confidence in their ability.
Upon completion of the practical we ask the students to write down what they got out of the course. Here are some responses:
Upon Completion we then present their certificate and badge at an assembly:
