FCD Survey Application (Freedom From Chemical Dependency)

Dear JFK Community:

We want to share with you that as part of the comprehensive program that we apply to work with students against the use of chemical substances such as alcohol, we have been working for more than 10 years together with the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, an American institution that has the aim of preventing the use of substances through its FCD (Freedom From Chemical Dependency) program. As part of this work, each year we apply a completely anonymous survey to students in grades 8 to 12 to find out their perception on this topic. 

These surveys are being conducted from January 8 to 19. Once the application is finished, the American company will analyze the data and share the results with us in a meeting. Thanks to the light shed by these results, strategies will be implemented to work with our community according to the indicated needs. 

As part of the efforts to keep our students away from substance use, we have organized an event this coming Thursday, February 1, 2024. You will receive more information about it soon.
