Parents and others who use Drug Prevention for Parents are empowered with the critical information and strategies to protect their children, keep them safe and drug free, and help them become more resilient Children and teens will achieve improved academic scores, enhanced social and communication skills, better decision-making, and become more focused and goal oriented. Can Drug Prevention for Parents be used by teachers, counselors, school administrators, social workers or other prevention professionals? Absolutely, yes You can use Drug Prevention for Parents to work with parents and children as a core manual for school and community-based drug prevention programs. Drug Prevention for Parents presents a unique method called "Stack the Deck" that, when applied as the author directs, almost guarantees that kids and teens will be immunized, vaccinated and inoculated from drug and alcohol abuse. For those parents with teenagers who have already started to use drugs... the primary focus should be on intervention and if needed, treatment. The great thing about Drug Prevention for Parents is that the techniques, strategies and prevention methods it presents can also be used as an adjunct to drug abuse intervention, relapse prevention, and some aspects of treatment to build teenagers' social, emotive and cognitive skills and to enhance and maintain their recovery.
