  3. Referral Source • Confidentially refer to me – by phone or with referral form • Set up a meeting with myself and student • Call the parent if you know the student is using – I CAN’T • I can only let you know that I met with the student referred • Shows the student you notice and you care

  4. When to refer to administration: • When you suspect the student is under the influence or has drugs/alcohol in their possession – call an administrator • This is in the best interest of the student AND the school • This may be the only intervention they receive

Concerned Others Group • Research estimates that nearly 1 in 4 students have some kind of addiction in their family. • All of them suffer some anxiety – many with depression and low self-esteem. • Most have problems sleeping • Some behaviors make it obvious there’s a problem, but many go undetected. • The Heroes are usually perfectionists and leaders – look good on the outside.
