Description
We are committed to changing the attitudes and expectations around youth drinking and making the transition to college a successful transition to adulthood where students can make the most of their college career and beyond. We are embarking on a new campaign initiative to help high school students, teachers, and parents be better prepared to meet the challenges of college.
Transitions - a new prevention program targeted to college-bound high school juniors and seniors - is intended to reduce the use of alcohol and other drugs during the final years of high school, challenge social norms and change attitudes about high risk drinking, and help prepare students for the drug and alcohol challenges they are going to face in college. We are in the preliminary stages of developing the first component of this larger campaign.
· Counselor Handbook - to teach counselors about substance abuse prevention, high-risk populations such as children of alcoholics, the realities of college drinking, suggestions for involving parents in prevention, and strategies to ease the transition to college for students
