Guiding Good Choices is a four-part workshop designed to educate parents and caregivers of 9-15 year olds about the risks for developing substance use disorder. The Guiding Good Choices program is based on 30 years of prevention research to target ways for parents and caregivers to mitigate risks for substance use and other problem behaviors among children. Workshop facilitators will share the latest SPS substance use data from anonymous student surveys. Then, over the course of four weeks, parents and caregivers will learn effective parenting techniques, family management strategies, and how to communicate peer pressure refusal skills to their children. The development of these specific skills has been linked to delayed onset or reduction of adolescent substance use, and lower rates of depression among families who complete the workshop. Daytime and Evening offerings are planned throughout the school year. Participation and pizza is free, thanks to support from the Friends of Scituate FACTS!
