Resources

Substance abuse prevention efforts in middle and high schools are usually led by school counselors, school nurses, mental health professionals, or social workers

But, it’s important to remember that no one—not the principal, not the counselor, and not the most passionate and involved parent—can establish effective substance abuse prevention strategies alone. The participation, support, and active involvement of others in the school and community are essential for success.

That’s why we’ve put together a list of resources and tips to help remind us all that we’re in this together!

This section will help you know the facts surrounding youth Rx drug abuse and underage drinking, show resources to find information regarding other drugs, and list school and community resources to help answer your questions.
