"TEACHER(TM) - A Handbook for Drug Awareness in Indian Classrooms"
by Yajuvendra Khajekar
India is not losing its youth to drugs because of lack of rules, but because of lack of readiness.
This book is a call to every teacher, counselor, and changemaker who believes classrooms are where India's true future is shaped.
TEACHER(TM) is not a campaign. It is a complete psychology-based prevention model rooted in real-life classrooms, childhood psychology, and the actual socio-emotional challenges faced by students today. Drawing from the acclaimed T.E.A.C.H.E.R.(TM) Framework (Talk, Empathy, Awareness, Connection, Habits, Environment, Resilience), this handbook gives you practical, ready-to-use tools to spark awareness, build resistance, and nurture resilience among students-from a preventive lens.
