Parents getting a head start against drugs: Activity book and trainer's guide Sylvia Carter and Ura Jean Oyemade This set of instructional activity books for the staff and parents or other primary caregivers of Head Start participants features workshops and exercises to help parents come to terms with how substance abuse affects their lives. The workshops help parents become more aware of their feelings and how they can prevent ATOD abuse in their families. Parents can use self-assessment techniques to address the stressors that may lead to drug use. Ten two-hour activity modules can be conducted independently or in sequence. Topics include the family, self-esteem, communication, stress, support groups, community, health issues, values, and peer pressure. Head Start staff use a parallel children's activity curriculum while the parent workshops are being held. The trainer's guide includes a directory of resource organizations and support groups, as well as other curricula and suggestions for further reading.
