This kit provides guidance and materials for the development of a drug and alcohol abuse prevention program that involves the cooperation of lawyers, doctors, teachers, parents, and youth.
Abstract
The kit provides materials for the four elements of the program. Material on the "Volunteer Activation Plan" includes tips and ideas for organizing activities for the four-point program and for recruiting participation by lawyers and law firms. Material for the "Lawyer/Doctor Education Team" provides guidance for such teams to present to classrooms, youth groups, parents, teachers, and community leaders to speak about the dangers of drug and alcohol use. Material for the "Resource Attorney Network" pertains to the program element that matches lawyers and law firms with community coalitions to implement legal skills in countering illegal drug activities. The "Law Firm/Legal Department Policy and Guidelines" provide information on how to work with lawyer assistance and employee assistance programs to help impaired personnel, including those troubled by drug and alcohol abuse.
