Drug abuse and your family : preventing, detecting, coping / Norman Panzica.

"Drug abuse is everybody's business. As the epidemic spreads, it threatens the potential of an entire generation, our children. Over his twenty-five year career as a drug counsellor and lecturer, Norman Panzica has spoken to half a million people across North America and Europe. He has appeared in over 1600 schools and has been quoted in dozens of newspaper articles, television and radio interviews. He advised the Canadian Senate Committee during its investigation of marijuana laws and presented a report to the LeDain Commission on Drug Abuse. In Drug Abuse & Your Family, Panzica offers proven, common-sense, loving advice to parents and professionals. He addresses the most-commonly asked questions about drugs and children, and deals with the three important aspects of drug abuse: prevention, through positive actions proven effective through research; detection, through numerous telling behaviors in children; coping, the most effective means of handling teenagers on drugs. It's hard-hitting, realistic, and most important, it works."--From cover.
