Drug Abuse Resistance Education, commonly known as D.A.R.E., is a program designed to educate students about the dangers of drug abuse and to promote healthy decision-making. It typically involves police officers visiting schools to teach children about the risks associated with drugs, alcohol, and violence. The curriculum aims to empower students with skills to resist peer pressure and make informed choices. The program often includes interactive lessons, discussions, and activities that engage students in learning. D.A.R.E. has been implemented in many schools across the United States and other countries, focusing on building self-esteem and fostering a supportive community among peers.
