Strong Healthy Families: Drug-Free Children

An Alcohol/Drug Prevention Program for Chinese Parents

Description:  Developed in partnership with the Chinese community, this program focuses on positive parenting and open communication at home in an effort to lower the risk of substance abuse among Chinese-Canadian adolescents.  The workshops and material can help parents clarify common myths about drug use, examine strengths and weaknesses in traditional Chinese parenting attitudes and practices, and learn effective communication skills.  The videotape, Crisis, is a socio-drama reinforcing that prevention begins at home and that parents have a role to play by helping children develop positive self-esteem, decision-making skills, and the ability to cope with peer pressure.

The program consists of a workshop Leader’s Guide (Chinese) and a 25-minute videotape (Cantonese).

COST:  No charge for video and/or manual. $15.00 shipping and handling fee.
