“A.C.T. because you care” is based on the premise that micro-influencers who are easily recognized and relevant to the student population are able to encourage others to engage in well-being behaviors. The project strategy is based on identifying and engaging student influencers to prioritize health and well-being and act accordingly. The core foundation of this project is to build upon the natural influence that peers can have on each other. Thus, the curriculum teaches influencers well-being skills and intervention methods for emergency situations. Influencers can develop the skills to prevent harmful substance use behaviors and learn communication skills to foster supportive communities. Furthermore, the influencer training provides information on substance misuse and intervention strategies for substance misuse."
