| NEW!!!! School-Based Prevention: "PREVENTION EDUCATION IN AMERICA"S SCHOOLS: A COMMUNITY APPROACH TO PREVENTION": Schools should not be solely responsible for student prevention education. Parents need to be enlisted to take more responsibility. School policies are not enough to prevent underage drinking and drug use. Environmental strategies have been proven to make real changes. If you want to start a community prevention coalition or increase community involvement in a existing coalition, try this motivational prevention primer. RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR NOSE: INHALANT ABUSE- Inhalant abuse begins around age 8 and peaks in middle school continuing into high school and beyond. National surveys show teen inhalant abuse on the rise. The number of students who perceive inhalant abuse as harmful has dropped sharply in the past year. Educating school professionals to look for the warning signs can increase early intervention. RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR NOSE: INHALANT ABUSE (TRAIN-THE-TRAINER)- Train school faculty to teach inhalant prevention education for grades K-12. Includes a proven curriculum recommended by the New England Inhalants Prevention Coalition. DRUGS & SCHOOL VIOLENCE: A TICKING TIME BOMB- School Violence has increased dramatically over the past decade. Threats in school, fighting and cyber-bullying illustrate the tendency towards a more violent generation. Why are teenage girls becoming more physically aggressive? Which drugs have a link to aggression and violence? How can you recognize abuse of those drugs early enough to prevent violence? DRUGS & DROPOUTS: THE FORGOTTEN LINK - Administrators and counselors work diligently to help every student be successful. But how do drugs play a negative role in a student's success? Which drugs are most likely to affect a student's GPA? Which drugs are your most academically competitive students abusing to get a ahead? Learn to recognize the signs of abuse of these drugs and intervene quickly before these students become a drop out statistic! DRUGS, DEPRESSION & SUICIDE: THE DEADLY LINK- This program illustrates the correlation between drugs and depression. The Surgeon General's National Strategy for Suicide Prevention states drug abuse as a major risk factor. Early recognition of drug abuse is vital to suicide prevention through early intervention and clinical treatment. |
