Good decisions in adolescence often start with learning about the consequences of bad decisions and the positive future you can unlock for yourself by doing the right thing. That's the focus of DHA's Delta Better Future (DBF) program. Across the Mississippi Delta, students in grades 6-12 are participating in engaging lessons that teach students the skills to resist peer pressure, make good decisions, and protect their health.
DBF students build new skills, confidence in themselves, and connections with their peers who want the best possible future. We're excited about all the time we've spent with these students this year and look forward to continuing working with them in 2026!

Teaching healthy habits early makes a lasting difference.
Shelby Miller, Manager of Nutrition & Wellness at the Leland Medical Clinic, recently led interactive “My Plate” lessons for pre-k and kindergarten students at Leland’s Early Learning Center. Through hands-on learning, students explored the five food groups and began building a strong foundation for healthy eating, one plate at a time.

Research has linked peer pressure to early initiation of adolescent smoking, drinking, and other risky behaviors that threaten children's futures. That's why DHA's Delta Better Futures (DBF) program seeks to equip students with the skills to resist peer pressure and protect their health.
Through engaging lessons offered though DHA's Promise Communities and partner schools, DHAs teen educators walk students through activities that reinforce positive decision-making. Recently, DBF staff led 6th grade students at O'Bannon Elementary through a tug-of-war activity that illustrated the dynamics of peer pressure, while also teaching students strategies to navigate questionable situations and formulate exit plans.
Ensuring better futures means that children and youth understand the weight of risky behaviors and have the skills to make decisions that preserve opportunities later in life. Through Delta Better Futures, we aim to do just that.
