A Restorative Alternative for School Substance Use Infractions: Insights from the iDECIDE Program

September 25 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

This webinar, hosted by the New England PTTC, will discuss the impact of punitive measures in response to school-based substance use infractions. iDECIDE is an alternative program that aims to reduce absenteeism, substance-related infractions, and general school infractions.

Training Objectives:

  • Examine why punitive responses to school-based substance use infractions are an ineffective strategy to address student substance use and often exacerbate harm, particularly among students with marginalized identities
  • Describe the iDECIDE program’s restorative approach to offering schools an appropriate alternative to punishment to address student substance use infractions.
  • Understand what partnering with MGH for the iDECIDE program involves, including key program features, requirements, and what schools or school adjacent partners can expect from the collaboration.
