Description

The Life Skills: Refusal Skills DVD gives students the tools they need to resist peer pressure and stand strong in their decisions. Perfect for classrooms and youth groups, this program shows how saying “no” doesn’t mean losing friends—it means gaining self-respect.

Led by two teen narrators, the DVD walks viewers through practical refusal techniques that are easy to understand and even easier to use in real-life situations. Students learn how to keep their cool, use confident body language, and respond with assertive (but respectful) communication when faced with pressure to experiment with drugs, alcohol, or other risky behaviors.

The relatable format helps students see that they’re not alone in the challenges they face. Through realistic scenarios and simple, step-by-step guidance, viewers discover that it’s possible to maintain friendships, avoid conflict, and still stick to their values.
