New comprehensive guide gives adults vital information about kids and drugs.
Teachers, youth workers, and parents will find step-by-step guidance for every drug and every situation in What Adults Need to Know about Kids and Substance Use.
Drug use is a growing crisis among today’s young people, and it’s more important than ever that adults know both the warning signs of drug use and how to react when they learn that a young person is using drugs. The information teachers, youth workers and parents need can be found in What Adults Need to Know about Kids and Substance Use: Dealing with Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs (Search Institute, 2011).
A practical, hands-on resource designed to help readers decide when and how to intervene with youth, it is a valuable guide to working with kids, their schools, social workers and law enforcement. It also includes a comprehensive overview of the substances kids are most likely to abuse—including items like over-the-counter drugs and inhalants, which are increasing in popularity—as well as a CD-ROM of handouts for distributing that information to others.
Katharine Sadler, M.Ed., is a community prevention specialist who has worked as a teacher, school counselor, business executive and community activist. She is with Indiana Prevention Resource Center at Indiana University as a technical assistant and evaluator for prevention projects. Her understanding of the substance abuse culture also stems from seeing it firsthand as a school administrator and as a mom. Katharine resides in Elizabeth, Indiana.
