You're openning a whole new field. I haven't heard of anyone else doing
addiction prevention for teens in their classrom. That's great !

A couple of years ago one of our practitionner students was a litterature
teacher in a very tough suburb of Paris. She wanted to improve her pupils'
level of skills and knowledge using NLP. She had set up some strategies
as doing group reframing and spatial and visual anchoring. I do think
that this last point is very important :
- when the group had done a good job she was standing at a special place
in the classroom to congratulate them.
- when she was learning them something she was standing in another place.
- she had set up an anchor when they were calm and focused on her teachings,
using a particular tone of voice and standing at the 'calm' place in the
classroom. Each time she needed to get them being calm she used to go
the 'calm' location and to talk to them with the 'calm' tone of voice.
- as she had tested her anchors were working she had been set up more
and more anchors of different internal states of her classes.
More than a high NLP skill level, I think you need a high skill level
of public speaking and group management. At least you'll need an NLP
practitionner skills' level and you'll need to attend a trainer's training
seminar. This could dramatically improve your efficiency.
I hope this will help you..
Feel free to tell us more of what you're actually doing, that's great !
Be well,
