Educational Materials

Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Clearinghouse -- Contact Nancy Jackson-Reno or Mary Herbert at (603) 271-2677 to borrow the videos below or other substance abuse prevention videos.

  • Danger! Toxic Chemicals.  This is an inhalant abuse prevention video targeted at students in grades 5-8.  The video explains the dangers of inhalants and how students can avoid them.  It does not show what products are being abused or how to abuse them.  The video uses the approach that inhalants are not really drugs, but are poisons, toxins and pollutants.  It also has a beneficial section on refusal skills.  Publisher Foundation Video, 1-800-328-9000. VHS format, 14 minutes.
  • Educate: Creating Inhalant Abuse Awareness Together.  This video is aimed at an adult audience, particularly those who interact with children - parents, coaches, teachers and health care workers.  The video was developed by the S.C. Johnson Company, a manufacturer of household cleaning, personal care and pest control products.
  • Quills Up - Stay Away! Spike's Poison Prevention Adventure.   A poison awareness program designed for preschool children.  It features Spike the porcupine puppet and makes it easy and fun to teach this important topic.  It includes a video and classroom activities as well as educational materials for parents/caregivers.  
  • Poison Control in Action...An Adult Education Program that Saves Lives. This program provides you with everything you need to give an engaging presentation, including a video, presenter's guide and handouts. Your audience will learn valuable poison prevention information.
