Join us for a presentation on drugs, alcohol and college students, led by Latasha Y. Hicks Becton, Ph.D., LCMHC, LCAS, CCS.
Institutions of higher education are required to follow the federal regulations set forth by the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (DFSCA). As part of those regulations, each institution must establish and implement a program of alcohol and drug prevention, education and intervention for students and staff. In this presentation, we’ll talk specifically about patterns of alcohol and drug use in collegiate student populations as well as discuss potential interventions and ways to support students who wish to modify their patterns of alcohol and/or other drug use.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the parameters of the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act relevant to institutions of higher education
- Describe the problem of alcohol and drug use in college students.
- Discuss potential interventions for students that are using alcohol and other drugs
