Home President's Vision News Tool Kits Bridging the Gap Special Thanks Introduction Scope Of Problem What Can Parents Do To Help their Children ... Where To Go For More Information What Can Parents Do to Help Their Children Be Drug Free The anti-drug education that children are getting in school today only begins to counter the street-level "education" they can pick up from their peers and popular culture. As a caring parent, you are probably asking yourself what you can do to help your children to stay drug free. Parents are the most important role models in children's lives. What they say and do about drugs matters significantly when it comes to the choices children make. Children who decide not to use alcohol or other drugs often make this decision because they have strong convictions against the use of these substances-convictions based on a value system. You can make your family's values clear by explaining why you choose a particular course of action and how that choice reflects your values. When it comes to dangerous substances like alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, don't assume that your children know where you stand. Children want you to talk to them about drugs. State your position clearly; if you're not clear, they may be tempted to use. Tell your children that you forbid them to use alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs because you love them. Make it clear that this rule holds true even at other people's houses. Will your child listen? Most likely. According to research, when a child decides whether or not to use alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, a crucial consideration is, "What will my parents think?"

Talking To Your Child About Marijuana offers background information and specific suggestions to help parents engage in meaningful conversations with adolescents about marijuana, an often misunderstood drug. To obtain a copy of the literature, contact ACDE at 1-800-488-DRUG; or by mail, send $1 to cover postage and handling to: ACDE, 164 W. 74th Street, 4th floor, New York, NY 10023. "Many parents resist talking with their children about marijuana because they may have experimented with the drug, and they fear the inconsistency in their message," says Martha Gagné, Director of ACDE. "But an open discussion, allowing children to learn from your experiences, can actually make it easier for youngsters to relate to your message. Of course, you can relate just as well if you never used marijuana. In either case, the parent-child dialogue is the crucial front line of defense against drugs."

Home Contact Us How Addiction Works Books and Materials ... PCP Why is it that more than eight thousand people in this country, mostly young people, start using illegal drugs every day? Is it peer pressure? Is it because the media pushes drugs harder than any junkie in the back of some dark alley? Or maybe it's because the people who make and sell drugs know exactly what 'buttons' to push to make a youngster want to use. Although all of these are contributing factors, they couldn't have an impact on our kids if there was effective DRUG EDUCATION in the schools or other places where young people gather. The war on drugs will only be won by educating our children about the dangers of drugs. In addition to rehabilitating those who have fallen into the trap of drug abuse, Narconon staff work very hard to prevent young people from using drugs in the first place. The Narconon program has provided drug prevention programs to school children in Southern California for over 20 years and has reached hundreds of thousands students. We offer a comprehensive series of interactive presentations for students in grades three through twelve. For more information, please contact:

Box 708 Kent, OH 44240 330/678-4526 (FAX) www.ashaweb.org Preface American School Health Association (ASHA) resolutions define the Association's stand on specific school health issues or concerns. Interested individuals or groups submit proposed resolutions to the ASHA Resolutions Committee, a standing committee that represents various professions within the Association. This committee: 1) accepts the proposed resolution, 2) rejects the proposed resolution, or 3) asks the submitting party to revise the proposed resolution. The committee forwards accepted proposed resolutions to the ASHA Board of Directors for final approval or rejection. Such action requires a majority vote of board members voting at a meeting in which a quorum of the Board is present. The resolutions on this page are currently active. They are five years old or younger, or have been re-approved by the ASHA Board of Directors. The table of contents lists resolutions alphabetically within each category. Some resolutions appear in two or more categories to reflect how elements of the comprehensive school health program intertwine. Each resolution includes a notation listing: 1) the year the resolution was approved; 2) the year it will be reviewed to ensure its relevancy; and 3) the ASHA standing committee, section, council - individually or combined - responsible for its future revision.

How Can We Enable Children To Live a Drug-Free Life? Drug Prevention Is a Shared Responsibility In the 1980s, there was a steady decline in the use of alcohol and other drugs among 12- to 17-year-olds. After a decade of significant progress, however, a recent survey indicates that this downward trend has leveled off for some drugs, leaving the rate of alcohol and some other drug use in the United States still high. The reasons for drug use are varied. Children may use drugs to satisfy their curiosity, conform to peer pressure, relieve anxiety, or have an adventure. But, whatever tempts them, we must teach children to reject drugs because drug use is illegal, harmful to their health, and interferes with academic and social development. Drug information programs, while important, cannot stand alone as a deterrent to drug use. Current literature has focused on a "holistic" approach to preventing drug use. A holistic approach emphasizes a prevention strategy that takes into account the wide range of forces that affect children's lives. Parents, as the prime nurturers of their children's development, play a prominent role in preventing drug use. Schools, communities, social service organizations, religious groups, law enforcement agencies, the media, and local businesses also play vital roles.

Dare we admit it? Drug war is a bust with our children / by Kendra E. Wright Published in The Oregonian , Portland, Oregon, 1-20-98, page E-9 What would you say if told that each year the federal government spends more than $650 million of our money on an education program that has been proven ineffective and may actually be hurting our children? You might wonder why the Republicans haven't attacked it as a taxpayer rip-off. Or why the Democrats, who consider education policy their domain, haven't created a task force to find something better. Or why parents and teachers haven't demanded some answers. Over the last five years, study after peer-reviewed study has described how D.A.R.E. and other anti-drug programs fail to reach the teenagers most at risk of drug abuse. Present in 70 percent of public schools nation-wide, D.A.R.E. relies on uniformed police officers and scare tactics to drum the just-say-no message into our kids. This is a national scandal. Yet in competing radio addresses about teen drug use in December, neither the president nor the Republicans addressed the failure of drug education programs. Studies conducted for the General Accounting Office, the Justice Department and the California Department of Education received some coverage by the media. But the truth about D.A.R.E. has been virtually ignored or dismissed by our political leaders.
