Ronald E. Harrison developed the “Teens
Using Drugs” series and presented this program from 1999 until his death in
April 2011.
Who is this program for? Should I bring my
(teen) (child) (parent) (spouse/partner) (other family member)?
The program is targeted primarily to
parents/guardians/caretakers of teens and young adults but is also inclusive of
teens, other family members, and anyone who works with or cares about young
people. Parents, guardians, foster parents, family members, teens,
community members, mentors, professionals, students, people who sponsor or
support young people in a Twelve-Step or other recovery program, and anyone
interested in attending for any reason are all welcome. Parents and teens are
welcome to attend individually or together. Families often find that
attending together as a family helps put them “on the same page” about
substance use issues, which can be critical to addressing substance abuse
concerns.
How much
does it cost?
It is free and open to anyone interested.
Is registration required?
No registration is required – you can just come.
Can documentation of attendance be provided? Is C.E. credit available?
A
certificate of attendance is provided upon request. This can document
attendance for school, court, C.E. or other purposes. Some disciplines accept
this workshop for C.E. credit, but you will have to check with the discipline
you are associated with as we do not provide approved CE. Schools have often accepted this program for
staff education hours.
Is it the same each month? Can I come to just one part?
The
same part 1 and part 2 workshops are repeated each month. You may attend either
part or both parts, as often as you like. The information presented in part 1
will help you understand the information presented in part 2, so we encourage
attendance at part 1 first, but it is not required. If it works out best for you to attend part 2
first or to only attend one part, you are welcome to do so.
What else should I know about the series?
Free
literature on adolescent alcohol/tobacco/other drug issues is also available.
Who sponsors this program?
The
“Teens Using Drugs workshop series is
co-sponsored by Dawn Farm, the Livingston and Washtenaw Regional
Coordinated School Health Program Advisory Council, and the Saint Joseph Mercy Health System Greenbrook Recovery Center.
Will the program be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather?
We
rarely cancel a program but it has happened on occasion. If you want to confirm
that a program will be held, you are welcome to contact
us. If we cancel a program, we will also post the
cancellation on this web site.
