There are a lot of resources available for helping us understand how to help our youth stay or become drug-free. We have a responsibility to educate ourselves so that we can help properly. Join the Be the Influence Coalition to learn and help local youth.
If you are concerned about your child's drug usage, below are educational resources for parents and youth.

Intervention in self-harm activities is not just done hastily. That is why we recently published this data-driven piece on Preventing Self-harm in Teens: A Guide for Appropriate Intervention.
To help your audience understand the concealment of self-harm among teens, we uncovered the following:
The reasons why teens do self-harm
Some acts that can be considered self-harm
Signs and long-term risks of untreated self-harming behaviors
Strategies loved ones can do
Utilizing school support system and support organizations
Often, teens deny their engagement in self-harming behavior by concealing their activities. We also found that 13 years old is the average age of the first incident of self-harm.

Employment Guide for People in Substance Abuse Recovery
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration states that over 19 million Americans suffer from substance abuse issues. Studies have shown that finding employment plays a huge factor in maintaining sobriety as having a regular work schedule builds a routine and structure as well as provides a sense of purpose.
To help people in recovery gain meaningful employment, we created a resource that provides information on job searching, addressing employment gaps, interview preparation, and the laws that protect them.
