We welcome you to the Archdiocese
of New York Drug Abuse Prevention Program (ADAPP) website. Here
you will find the tools to support our mission: to help our
students build resiliency and make the positive decisions that
will assure a healthy, productive future.
While every generation has faced
its dilemmas, today's issues are especially challenging.
Bullying, school violence, online safety, potential substance
abuse – be it drugs, alcohol, tobacco or prescription and
over-the counter medications – or stress and anxiety are just a
few of the roadblocks that can interfere with their educational
journey and disrupt a safe and healthy environment.
ADAPP, in partnership with Connect
with Kids, has developed video and print resources to help
facilitate youth meetings, classroom programming, mentor sessions
and family discussions at home. They include:
- Refuse, Remove, Reasons
(Students |
Prevention Counselors)
– A multimedia high school curriculum to help students develop
refusal strategies for alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, steroids,
prescription and over-the-counter drug abuse.
- Video: The Internet Generation –
Watch stories of Internet realities and ways to help our kids
safely navigate their online world.
- Video: Prescription for Trouble –
Learn about the latest drug threat to our children: the legal
prescription and over-the-counter medications that have become

and ways to help them battle stress and anxiety.
- Video: Sticks and Stones – Hear

prevention and intervention.
