Natural High

I’ve utilized Natural High Lessons with both middle school and high school age students. They are all very engaging. It’s not easy to engage today’s youth but the vast majority of teens are really into the videos and brief, entertaining and relevant lesson plans. I appreciate how the Natural High videos portray people from diverse backgrounds that teens can relate to- from skateboarders to basketball players to musicians to break dancers, etc. Jon Sundt’s heartfelt story alone (of his brothers) truly captivates the audience and I always begin the Natural High lessons with Jon’s story and his compassionate message and hope for the future. I’m picky about what I teach during the Drug & Alcohol unit but I look forward to Natural High every time! I highly recommend Natural High for all educators, counselors, social workers, parents, etc. A “Natural High” indeed!!

I share Natural High videos and utilize the discussion prompts with my junior high students each year. Every school should use these tools!

Natural High videos are an amazing tool in teaching kids to stay away from drugs!

Finally!. . . inspirational content that really changes the lives of kids and their attitudes and behaviors around substance abuse. If you're thinking of donating, know that your money will truly make a different and have lasting impact. Thank you Natural High!

Such helpful messages with practical instruction, reminders, suggested skills to practice ( like conflict resolution) along with super video testimonies.

I love these real life people sharing their stories and how choosing to not use drugs and alcohol strengthened them. I am in elementary and the kids love and are truly amazed at the talent of these individuals.

I teach online in a zoom class driver's education I tried to make it where it is conversation that I'm having with my students. I use your website as a way for them to explore and make up their own mind about what is a good choice and what is a bad choice.

The curriculum design is built for a conversation about a serious topic. I like that we think things through together, and I am not just scaring them!

I asked them to give me a review of John's story and picking choose the different celebrities that are there. I always get positive feedback from students.

My assistant instructors are Oreo and Ned are always present for this lesson! The kitties, never come in for any other lesson too!

I use the Natural HIgh curriculum as a final project each year, the students really enjoy being able to make videos.

I've used the Natural High Program for very long time. I was able to share information with my Elementary students but now that I am in a Middle School there is so much more that can be used for this age. Great Program!!

I love Natural High, I shared the videos with all the teachers and parents during Red Ribbon Week. The Natural High activities and inspiring videos help our students, specially the middle school students, to find their own natural high so they can make good choices and stay away from drugs. Also, the Natural High videos encourage our students to share their experiences and have powerful class discussions regarding the negative impact drugs and alcohol can have in reaching their personal and career goals. Thank you Natural High...
