Over the past three years, it has been a real pleasure to work with Prevention is Better and their team to deliver a comprehensive prevention program at TASIS. Their evidence-based approach, engaging delivery, and commitment to student wellbeing have made a measurable difference in our school community. We have seen clear reductions in substance use among students and a noticeable increase in awareness and understanding of the risks associated with substance misuse.

The Prevention is Better team are professional, responsive, and passionate about their work. Their collaboration with our staff and students has been consistently positive and impactful. I would highly recommend their program to any school looking to strengthen its prevention and wellbeing initiatives.

Ryan spoke to our junior cycle students on alcohol and drug prevention. The students engaged very well with Ryan’s story and a lot of students explained how they could relate to some aspects of the story from seeing drug and alcohol abuse in their communities. This was very beneficial and supported the content we were completing at the time.

Our students engaged in the PIB platform right away and had fun testing their knowledge.
To be able to provide a digital learning experience apart from typical teaching tools was both fun and instructive.
