Lecture and Discussion- Participants are encouraged to make the workshop more relevant to their concerns by asking questions.
DESCRIPTION:
Parents and other adults often make a mess out of talking to kids about alcohol and drugs. This training uses a mnemonic – A MESS to examine problematic approaches that lose adults credibility to a solid approach that resonates with children, pre-teens, and teens. In addition, the training includes the key three goals of parenting (or raising children), the big four concerns that amplify or reduce adult anxiety (and potentially free children from restrictive discipline), and more about alcohol use.
