Head Start substance abuse guide: A resource handbook for Head Start grantees and other collaborating community programs Raymond C. Collins and Penny R. Anderson ATOD abuse affects many children enrolled in Head Start in some wayóat home or in the community. This handbook is designed specifically to help Head Start programs and their collaborators develop strategies to address ATOD abuse. It suggests how to create a supportive environment for children, form ties with collaborative agencies, and work with parents. Staff should learn to identify children prenatally affected by ATOD and exposed to ATOD abuse in the family. Authors list the competencies needed for working with drug-affected children and families, including fostering ongoing relationships with caretakers. Numerous benefits (including joint outreach campaigns, coordinated case management, and unified messages about ATOD abuse) result from collaborations between Head Start and social and community services agencies. The volume concludes with resource lists of useful information - drug classifications, curricula, organizations, and publications.
