Address the real issues. 

Research has shown that students who go through WhyTry:

  • Engage in fewer rule-breaking behaviors
  • Increase their resilience
  • Improve positive social behavior
  • Decrease fighting and aggressive behaviors
  • Report a stronger belief that their actions today will affect the future
  • Report a positive change in the degree of their willingness to keep trying
The WhyTry Program’s multisensory approach – which includes the use of journaling, discussion, visual metaphors, video, music, and experiential learning activities – has helped change behavior in a variety of populations worldwide. The general high-risk cycles for drugs, violence, and sex can be easily addressed by the instructor using the concepts of the program.

 

In addition to increasing safety in facilities, the WhyTry Program also addresses the prevalence of substance abuse and other addiction issues by remediating the underlying social and emotional deficits. The concept of relapse cycles, the effects of drug use on self and others, and high-risk environments are all addressed throughout the lessons.
