Search this site powered by FreeFind Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention: The Parent Connection Two of the biggest concerns parents have when they send their sons and daughters to college are whether they will be safe, and whether they will do well academically. Both of those concerns are legitimate, and both are closely related to alcohol and other drugs, whether used by the student or by their fellow students. So parents deserve to know what schools are doing to curb alcohol and other drug use, and college administrators must be prepared to answer tough questions about their alcohol and other drug prevention policies and programs.

Newsletters Parent Information - Young People, Parents and Drugs - Some Commonly Asked Questions How can I tell if my child is using drugs? How can I ensure that my child won't come to harm from drugs? How can I tell if my child is using drugs? It can be extremely difficult to tell if your child is using drugs. There are often no specific physical signs or personality changes that indicate drug use. Many of the often quoted signs of drug use like red eyes, tiredness, excessive bursts of energy or loss of motivation could also be signs of illness or the result of hormonal changes that occur during adolescence. Sudden changes in behaviour and mood swings are also characteristic of adolescence. For example, the need for privacy, changing friends, rebelliousness, secrecy, uncontrollable giggling or irritability are all characteristic of adolescent behaviour and usually have nothing to do with drug use. However if you observe uncharacteristic behaviour over a long period of time, there may be a problem.

Previous Page Mission: To make health a top priority for everyone in Northern Ireland. Press Release 16.11.98 Key role for parents in drug education Two out of every three parents in Northern Ireland are worried that their children may get involved in taking drugs or solvents, according to research commissioned by the Health Promotion Agency for Northern Ireland. The figure was revealed today, the beginning of European Drug Prevention Week, as the Agency launched the third phase of a major public information campaign on drugs. The aim of the campaign is to encourage parents to talk to their children about drugs. Parents will be targeted with television advertising and support materials. Speaking at the launch from Sprucefield Shopping Centre, Lisburn, Rob Phipps, Alcohol and Drugs Programme Manager for the Health Promotion Agency said: "We all know that drugs are out there, so young people are at risk of experimenting and becoming involved in more regular drug taking. We also know that young people in Northern Ireland acknowledge the role their parents have in respect of drug education. Young people will listen to their parents about drugs if the information they are receiving is accurate and consistent."

Information for Parents on the National School Drug Education Strategy July 2000 Introduction Dr David Kemp Minister for Education, Training and Youth Affairs Dear Parent, Our children are precious and we want them to have a safe place in which to learn and grow. But drug-taking among young people can make school a less safe and healthy place for all students, whether they use drugs or not. My reason for sending you this pamphlet is to let you know what is being done in schools across Australia to prevent drug abuse by young people and to help those who do get into trouble. One of the most important parts of that strategy is to encourage parents to become partners with teachers and family doctors in helping young people avoid drug-taking altogether, or treating those who are taking drugs. The bottom line is: illicit drugs have no place in our schools. This pamphlet tells you what is being done and where you can go for more information. I hope you find it useful. When we talk about drugs in schools, we mean: Alcohol Tobacco Cannabis (marijuana) Heroin Cocaine Ecstasy Other heavily addictive drugs Medicines prescribed for someone else Harmful amounts of medicines easily bought at the chemist or supermarket.

Some parents question schools' role in drug education Published: 11-1-98 Source: Ft. Worth Star-Telegram Author: Yamil Berard Red Ribbon Week conjures up positive images of grinning students bedecked with pins, T-shirts and slogans exalting the youngsters' pledge to be drug-free. Yet on the opposite end of Tony Arangio's phone line Tuesday morning, a parent's voice was twisting with anger. "My son is in the first grade, and he shouldn't know anything about drugs," the parent told Arangio, coordinator of Safe and Drug Free Schools for Arlington school district. The educator's response: "It's just a red ribbon. Throw it away. Don't wear it. Schools are very accommodating. If you say, `I don't want my kid to wear it,' we don't do it." In the past decade, as schools have been asked to shoulder the difficult task of delivering the anti-drug message to the nation's youths, educators have spoken of parents primarily as partners in the efforts. But as the lessons are being broadened and woven into the curriculum from English to social studies to math, many parents are being seen in a new role: The opposition.

While advocating abstinence, our ultimate goal should be safety and the prevention of drug abuse and drug problems. Drug Education should follow the lead of sex education. Though sex education began with abstinence only tenets in the 1970s, the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s focused on efforts to save lives. To help reduce the harm associated with unsafe sexual practices, realistic sex education stressed safety. Today's drug education programs face the same abstinence only vs. safety dilemma. Many parents fear that a reality-based, safety oriented discussion of drugs may lead to

Before you work with your child on this issue, there's one thing you need to know: Kids don't usually get drugs from strangers. They get drugs from their friends. And that's the toughest issue of all—as you have to teach your kids that it's OK to say no to their friends, to the people they look to for validation, recognition, and fun. Strongly encourage them to avoid friendships with kids who use drugs. A great way to help kids prepare for drug-related situations is by acting out—also known as role playing—scenarios with them. It's important to practice these scenarios with your kids before these situations really happen. Use the following scenarios as a starting point but create new ones based on your child's life:

Attitudes of Parents of High School Students about AIDS, Drug, and Sex Education in Schools Rome, Italy, 1991 As of December 31, 1991, the number of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases in Italy exceeded 11,500; two thirds occurred among injecting-drug users (IDUs), and 7% occurred through heterosexual contact with persons who were human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-antibody-positive. In Italy, because the average age at diagnosis among IDUs and heterosexual persons with AIDS has been 28 and 32 years, respectively, many may have contracted HIV infection as adolescents or young adults. To determine parents' attitudes about AIDS, drug, and sex education and parents' role in educating their children about AIDS, Italy's National Institute of Health conducted a survey of parents of high school students in Rome. This report summarizes survey findings and recommendations for the introduction of AIDS, drug, and sex education in Italian schools. Of the 611 parents interviewed, 583 (95%) had talked about drugs with their adolescents; fewer had talked about AIDS (508 (83%)) and sex (460 (75%)). Most believed these topics should be introduced in school (602 (99%) supported AIDS education; 600 (98%), drug education; and 578 (95%), sex education). In addition, when asked whether parents would allow their adolescents to participate, almost all would allow participation (577 (94%) for AIDS education, 571 (93%) for drug education, and 557 (91%) for sex education).
