With substance abuse so apparent among today’s teenagers, it is our goal not only to educate the general public on the role in which they play, but also to invite them to action.  It is our belief that most populations are not only willing to help where they can, but also that many desire to do so.  However, we realize that often no action is taken simply because the course of action needed is unknown.

In hopes that we may lay forth vital solutions to today’s vast abuse of drugs and alcohol, this book has been created to bring awareness and hope of success.  Not only does it present the problem and cause, but also several ways in which those in any community may become involved.  When these suggestions are followed, as shown in many studies herein, success in limiting drug and alcohol abuse among teens is inevitable.

No matter what your role in a community may be, from parent to school teacher or prominent business man, your impact can be felt.  The information obtained through this book will provide foundational knowledge needed to begin your impact in your community.  As you become more aware of the ramifications of substance abuse and its’ causes, you will be better prepared to know what steps you can take to lessen its’ impact on many teenagers around you.
