Who is this program for?
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 program, and anyone interested in attending for any reason are all
welcome. Parents and teens are welcome to attend individually or
together.
How much does it cost?
It is free and open to anyone interested.
Is
registration required?
No registration is required – you can just come.
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.
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. Schools have
often accepted this program for staff education hours.
What else should
I know about the series?

literature on adolescent alcohol/other drug issues is also available.
