Resources

  • Check out ADDitude Magazine for some great resources, including a free e-newsletter with all sorts of tips and techniques.
  • DrugRehab.com includes this article I’ve linked to directly that reviews the connections between substance abuse and suicide.  The site contains information about substance abuse and various treatment and support programs.
  • The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism is a bit “scholarly” but also loaded with resources, including links to other sites they sponsor, including “The Cool Spot” designed specifically for young teens who may be experiencing peer pressure to start drinking.
