The ThinkFirst For Youth program is for students in grades four through eight-an important time to help students learn the importance of protecting themselves, as they are increasingly faced with decision-making challenges involving their safety. Home and classroom activities help students develop a practical understanding of their body's abilities and limitations. Exercises build communication and conflict resolution skills, increasing self confidence and the ability to make appropriate behavior choices on their own and in the face of peer pressure.

Two separate curricula have been developed, one for grades four and five, and one for grades six thru eight. Different levels of difficulty within each curriculum allow for flexibility in teaching students with different academic abilities and learning methods. Curricula include lessons on the brain and spinal cord, vehicular and pedestrian safety, bicycle and sports safety, water safety, creative problem solving, violence prevention, conflict resolution, and choking and suffocation hazards. Each lesson comes with fun, thought-provoking, hands-on activities, messages from "Dr. A," and resources for further information.
