Helper Heroes

Worksheet Description

This worksheet introduces students to various community helpers who work to prevent drug abuse and promote healthy behaviors. It asks students to choose two roles-like police officers or school counselors-and research or interview someone in those positions. They answer questions about where these professionals work, how they help young people, and why they are important during Red Ribbon Week. The worksheet also includes a drawing section for a creative element.

By completing this worksheet, students enhance their research and interviewing skills, which are critical for real-world learning. It encourages personal engagement with the community and improves writing and reflection abilities. The creative portion supports expression and helps students visualize abstract roles. This activity builds awareness of support systems and encourages appreciation for professionals who promote safety and wellness.
