What is Eckerd's Hi-Five Program?

The Hi-Five School-Based Program is a youth substance misuse prevention program operated by Eckerd Connects’ Prevention Services that promotes the development of positive life skills and resiliency.

Through weekly sessions, students learn strategies on topics that include:

  • Communication
  • Decision Making
  • Self-esteem
  • Dealing with Stress

These lessons are reinforced through family workshops, mentoring, and meaningful activities, ensuring students can apply their new skills both at school and at home.

Areas Served

The Hi-Five program is offered in select elementary and middle schools throughout Citrus, Brevard, and Osceola counties, Florida.

What Makes It Unique?

Hi-Five services go beyond classroom instruction by combining:

  • Interactive learning with discussions, hands-on activities, and games
  • Family involvement through workshops that transfer skills from the classroom to the home
  • Individualized goal setting for students needing extra support

This whole-child approach helps students develop lifelong skills that build individual resiliency and strengthen family and community ties.
