Question:
I am an Associate Governmental Program Analyst recently hired by the CA Department of Alcohol & Drug Programs. One of my duties is to participate on the FASD Task Force and put together an awareness campaign for FASD. I have been asked to review your "Tool Kit" for the education of high school staff and students on FASD. Do you actually have one?
Answer:

Thank you for considering our Community Tool Box as a development tool for work with High School staff and students. While we don't have a "toolkit" specifically devoted to this audience, we do have many tools that you and your colleagues could use to develop workshops. Most of our tools have examples related to drug and alcohol use prevention, but they focus on core competencies more specifically. If you were to narrow the scope of what they need to learn to specific skills from the Table of Contents (http://ctb.ku.edu/tools/en/) or from the Tool Kits (http://ctb.ku.edu/tools/tk/en/corecompetencies.jsp), then you could put together quite a good training package. It would need to be supplemented with specific information about drug and alcohol use, but there are many sources for that. We hope this answer is helpful, and wish you the best in your work.
