a. Program Summary and Objectives: If you’re a parent or teacher and suspect your child or student is experimenting with drugs, you’re not alone. A parent’s dream is not to have a child struggling with addiction. However, denying the problem is the biggest mistake a parent can make and can cost a life. In today's society, children have access to many different harmful substances that can be addictive and damaging. Like adults, some teens use and or “experiment” with substances to escape their problems; however they don't realize that it is not an escape but rather a deep dark hole. Other teens use substances to "fit in" with the rest of their peers. That’s why it’s crucial for parents, teachers and other adults to understand how the teenage brain works and how to identify signs of experimentation or drug abuse. Teaching a child to “just say no” is not enough. Education, communication and knowing what’s going on in today’s society is the key to saving a teenagers life.
“Teen Addiction & the Path to Recovery” will explore the science behind teen addiction, the warning signs of addiction and steps that parents, teachers and other adults can take to help a teen suffering from addiction. This hour-long show will share successes and challenges that today’s teenagers and families face in overcoming addiction and living drug-free productive lives, and will highlight one teen’s powerful story of addiction and recovery. Viewers will leave with a deeper understanding of the power and possibility of recovery for teens struggling with alcoholism and drug dependencies, and of pro-social activities that can help teens achieve long-term recovery.
Learning Objectives:
* Understand the disease of addiction
* Distinguish between "normal" adolescent behavior and the red flags of addiction
* Learn why and how teens get addicted
*Understand the process from addiction to recovery
* Familiarize yourself with telltale signs of addiction and withdrawal
* Explore the world of drug abuse; hear first-hand knowledge from addicts and addiction experts
