Guiding Good Choices aims to prevent substance abuse among teens by teaching parents of preteens and younger adolescents the skills they need to improve family communication and family bonding. The program draws on extensive research that demonstrates the critical importance of bonding in reducing or inhibiting adolescent participation in antisocial behaviors. During the course of the program, parents will learn specific strategies to help their children avoid drug use and other adolescent problem behaviors, and develop into healthy adults. Parents will learn to set clear family guidelines on drugs, as well as learn and practice skills to strengthen family bonds, help their children develop healthy behaviors, and increase children's involvement in the family. The program consists of five 2-hour workshops. Light dinner will be served during each session. For more information please contact Veronika Patty at 978-829-2447 or at vpatty@luk.org. This program is being provided by GCAT in partnership with LUK, GAAMHA, and the AED Foundation.
