Its goal is to teach elementary students the danger of drug and alcohol use and abuse at the preventive stage and introduces children to living skills which identify alternative ways to feel good and to cope with stress.

The BABES lessons are presented through the telling of stories that revolve around puppet characters. Students are presented with thirty minute lessons concerning various topics such as saying "no" to peer pressure, defining alcohol and alcoholism and emphasizing self esteem as an important deterrent to chemical abuse. This is all done so that elementary school children are able to understand and discuss each concept.

BABES is presented to third grade students by trained F.F.I.A. community volunteers once a week for seven weeks. Teachers remain in the classroom so they may follow-up with students once the presenters have left.
