This presentation introduces the key messages that will be analysed by the forthcoming ADEPIS guidance document for schools 'Involving families affected by substance use in alcohol and drug education'.
Sibling issues can arise when one child has a mental disability. This can require adjustment and impact future relationships. However, children with disabled siblings often develop positive traits like empathy.
When working with youth in the criminal justice system, more focus should be placed on addressing underlying mental health issues rather than just restraining behaviors. Counselors need to help determine what is causing misbehavior.
Children who have experienced trauma like abuse, neglect, family separation, or disasters may react in various ways and need long-term support through counseling to rebuild trust and cope with their experiences. It is important counselors understand youth needs and can refer clients to outside services if needed.

Presentation at the National Prevention Network Conference on September 14, 2017
The percentage of individuals in the United States and NH with past year illicit drug dependence or abuse was highest among young adults between the ages of 18-25. A rapid assessment process was used to do a deeper dive to understand the substance use behaviors of young adults. And to ensure prevention strategies are culturally sensitive and relevant to the target populations, to help inform prevention efforts for early childhood and youth, and to establish baseline data to track implemented prevention efforts.
Themes: Community, physical environment, job opportunities and growth, communication approaches, generational differences, sense of hope or optimism, stress coping mechanisms, perception of substance misuse, consequences of substance misuse, and substance use
Key strategies: Academia/education, peer support, family and friends, key messages, and community resources
Now what? Next steps:
1. The Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services put out an RFP and will fund 11 of the 13 Regional Public Health Networks to implement young adult strategies (SBIRT; Employers; Peer leadership programs).
2. NAMI to adapt “Connect”, a youth-based suicide prevention train-the-trainer program: “Connect for Young Adults” (MH; suicide; AOD).
3. Develop and roll out a young adult social media campaign with a focus on binge drinking.
4. Second administration of the young adult assessment is being planned for 2019 which will provide important comparison data and indicate if the trends are moving in the right direction.

Early Interventions - Anne Longfield, OBE, Chief Executive, 4ChildrenFDYW
This document discusses supporting young people to flourish through a holistic, life cycle approach. It identifies risk factors like family issues, poor school achievement, and community disadvantages that can lead to problems. Protective factors like family bonds, positive role models, and learning skills promote positive outcomes. Early intervention is important, like family support and parenting programs. Community services can help through outreach, relationships, and adapting support. The task is changing systems and attitudes to prioritize young people through joined-up, preventative services focused on strengths and problem-solving instead of reacting to crises. Leadership, collaboration, skills and funding are needed to enable this approach.
