Safety First: A Reality-Based
Approach to Teens, Drugs and Drug Education, a booklet written by Dr. Marsha
Rosenbaum and published by The Lindesmith Center, will be released at the
October 29 conference, "Just Say Know: New Directions in Drug Education,"
in San Francisco.
Rosenbaum, director of The
Lindesmith Center-West, is a widely published expert on drug abuse.
She is also the mother of a teen-aged son, and wrote Safety First for other
parents as well as teachers and administrators. The 20-page pamphlet
analyzes the current status of drug education and includes recommendations
about how it could be improved. Also included is an open letter Rosenbaum
wrote to her son about drugs, published last year in the San Francisco
Chronicle.
The pamphlet can be found
on the Lindesmith Center website at http://www.lindesmith.org/library/safetyfirst.pdf.
Included on the site is a list of reality-based drug education programs
from around the world. Program providers may forward their
information to [email protected].
