Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The trauma and grief of growing up in an alcoholic or addicted family create a lifetime of baggage. If you grew up in an addicted family, the dysfunction that permeated every aspect of your childhood may have seemed 'normal,' and you may not even realize the level of affect alcohol still has on your adult life—whether or not you drink. If you are one of the millions of Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOAs), the cost of your childhood pain can be unbearable. You may have learned how to 'survive,' but are you 'living' your life? Do you fear normal conflict? Do you blame yourself when something goes wrong—even when it isn't your fault? Are you a chaos junkie? Or do you just fear relationships because they are too difficult or too painful? Having devoted much of their careers to working with ACOAs, therapists Jane Middelton-Moz and Lorie Dwinell now take a deeper look into the origin and cost of childhood pain, as well as the grief resolution process that is integral to recovery.

Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks â€" and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive? What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment in youth health and safety.

Download or read book Classrooms Under the Influence written by Richard R. Powell and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than seven million adolescents under the age of 18 live in homes where one or both parents is an alcoholic. This document presents a three-part discussion of adolescent children of alcoholics' (AdCOA) issues relative to school classrooms. Part I discusses characteristics and behaviors of AdCOAs. The characteristics of dysfunctional families in general and alcoholic families in particular are provided as context for facilitating the identification process. Normal and abnormal behaviors of adolescents are considered as a context for recognizing AdCOA behaviors. Because AdCOAs and other dysfunctional adolescents more often become substance abusers in school and later in life, a discussion is offered of school behaviors of students who abuse substances. Part II provides a five-step classroom intervention model that educators can use to identify and interrupt the dysfunctional survival skills AdCOAs use at school. The model provides a useful way that teachers and administrators can build a database to support students suspected of being AdCOAs. Part III includes a discussion of strategies for helping AdCOAs in classrooms. From the various strategies available, the following techniques have been selected: listening and caring, using AdCOAs' personal and academic strengths, and reflection. It is noted that these strategies help AdCOAs build healthy self-concepts. A number of forms and a list of resources and references are appended. (NB)
