LET'S
TALK -- ACDE HELPS CONCERNED EMPLOYERS RESPOND
 The Let's Talk program is designed
to help employers educate parents about how to deal knowledgeably and thoughtfully with
the prospect, and the reality, of drug abuse in their homes. Let's Talk
can be customized to meet the needs of any employer. Available materials include
hard-hitting scientific brochures, helpful parent-focused communication guides,
educational videos, and valuable resources where parents can turn for more information and
assistance.
The official Let's
Talk parents guide -- a 32-page booklet that offers practical
advice on how parents can engage their children in age-appropriate communication about
substance abuse.
DrugHelp --
www.drughelp.org
offers a national database of treatment programs, self-help groups, hotline numbers, and
covers information about substance abuse, intervention, and recovery.
The Drug Awareness
Series -- eleven factual brochures details the latest
information on drugs of abuse and related topics. The brochures cover: marijuana;
heroin and other narcotics; cocaine and crack; inhalants; methamphetamine; tobacco;
alcohol; LSD, PCP and other Hallucinogens; Drugs and Pregnancy; Alcohol, Drugs and the
Workplace; and Talking to Your Child About Marijuana.
Faces of Addiction
-- thirty-minute video compilation created from the three-part 1997 HBO
Faces of Addiction program is available from ACDE. To accompany the video, ACDE and
HBO produced a Guide for Parents Concerned About Substance Abuse, that gives
parents useful communication tips.
EDUCATE --
this informative video for parents delivers important information about
inhalant abuse. Called "sniffing" or "huffing" by many young
people, the intentional abuse of household products to get high is poses a particular
threat to very young children, for it is most often a first drug of abuse.
These items and other ACDE
products can be used as part of a family-friendly Let's Talk campaign to help working
parents raise healthy, drug-free young people. If your organization is interested in
starting a Let's Talk program, email [email protected]
