AHC's Resources for Hope and Community Change
For Families
It can be deeply difficult to determine a child’s need for professional help regarding substance abuse and other behavioral health challenges. Even when the need for help is clear, determining which resources are best can be overwhelming. We recommend concerned parents read the Treatment E-Book made available by the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids before deciding upon a treatment resource.
We will also feature blogs from parents who have dealt with a child’s substance abuse to help guide your decision by reading how others handled similar situations.
For Youth
Peers have a tremendous influence on each other, including individual and shared attitudes, choices, and beliefs. The resources we’re offering here provide science-based information about alcohol and other drugs that we hope will be beneficial to youth and their peers.
Periodically, we’ll feature blogs from area youth whose experiences with addiction have motivated them to “pass on” the wisdom derived from their experience. If you know of resources we should consider including, please click here to let us know.
For Community Partners
AHC community partners are the lifeblood of our organization, representing all facets of our communities. In their personal and professional roles, they serve children and families, congregations, classrooms, police departments, business groups, first responders, youth organizations, and healthcare professionals, among others.
AHC seeks to support our partners by providing connections to resources, including blog entries from individuals whose passion for healthy youth and substance abuse prevention motivates them to share their perspectives and experiences.
