Teen Alcohol and Other Drug Use. Knowing the Signs and What to Do About Them
Description
The statistics are clear: 80 percent of young people consume alcohol (more than just a few sips) by the end of high school, and 50 percent have done so by eighth grade, while 54 percent have used an illicit drug by the time they leave high school. So what's a parent to do? This video provides information about both preventing teen alcohol and drug use and intervening once a teen has started using. Parents will learn about the serious consequences of adolescent drug use, signs that their child might be using, and effective ways to intervene if their child is using.
