Substance Abuse In Residential Schools

The trauma that the Residential School students faced has left them with long term social complications. Viola Papequash a survivor of Gordons Residential School exclaims “They are now struggling with a lot of issues, and one is identity and self-esteem and being proud of who they are” (Source C). Furthermore, Residential schools took confident young children proud of who they are, and confident in their religion and straight up turned them into what Richard Wagamese (an Intergenerational Survivor) would say as “frightened children” (Source E). Grant Severlight a survivor of St. Philips’s Residential School shares that Residential schools caused him to live in constant fear and living in constant fear ruined his “Relationships later on” (Source B). Survivors did not know how to take care of themselves so that caused them to be incapable of taking care of others. All those quotes stated above help paint the bigger picture of how Residential Schools Affected the Social aspect of the survivors’ life. When those innocent

Residential drug treatment programs provide the drug addict/abuser with the necessary tools they need to combat their substance abuse addiction, enabling them to get back on the right path and live a productive, successful, and drug-free life. The length of residential drug treatment varies from one month to one year; therefore, the policy should specifically state the length requirement. If I were the new director of a residential drug treatment facility, the policies will be analyzed, reevaluated, and the necessary changes made to ensure the programs were effective.

As sad as it is to admit, many indigenous groups are slowly disappearing all around the world as humanity further develops, such as the Kazakh tribes in Mongolia, the Mursi tribe in Ethiopia, and many more fading indigenous groups. Many people from these rural locations all around the world are leaving their homes for a life in the city filled with technology, along with their traditions being forgotten as the new generation of youth loses interest in these long time treasured traditions. The goal of residential schools was to speed up this process, creating a revolutionary change, compared to a evolutionary change. In a few cases, they were able to successfully help aid residential school students with preparing them for the rapidly developing world, with Tomson Highway being a notable example of a student who had a positive experience, “There are many very successful people today that went to those schools and have brilliant careers and are very functional people, very happy people like

The summer that marked the transition from junior to senior high also became the point in my life when I realized my friends in middle school would turn into completely new people during high school. The innocent kids I grew up with were now experimenting with new things and new people, all of which were fine with me, until I received a phone call late one night. One of my friends was at an upperclassman's party where illegal substances were being abused. He was coaxed into ingesting large amounts of hydrocodone which led to a severe decrease in his blood pressure. Hearing this traumatic news prompted me to want to prevent an event like this from happening again. I contacted Deborah Soule, a Partnership for a Drug Free Community board member, and together we founded a drug prevention group called Today's Youth, Tomorrow's Leaders.

One study asked counselors about the prevalence of substances used by high school students and found that the counselors most often dealt with alcohol issues (Burrow-Sanchez & Lopez, 2009). While alcohol may be one of the most widely dealt with substances from a counselor’s perspective, it is essential to be able to identify signs of alcohol abuse and other substance abuse so that action can be taken. Signs of substance abuse can vary, but within a school setting school counselors and other stakeholders can look for changes in academic performance, truancy, withdrawal, isolation, impulsive behavior, changes in mood (anxiety, anger, depression, irritation), changes in appearance, poor hygiene, tardiness, dropping out of sports and other school activities, and associating with peers known to use drugs, (Burrow-Sanchez, Jenson, & Clark, 2009; Flaherty, Sutphen, & Ely, 2012; Hagedorn, & Young, 2011). These signs of possible substance abuse issues need to be looked at further if a student is identified as having any of these signs as other things could be going on. For instance, a student may be dealing with their parents divorce and could be tired and not doing homework because the student is listening to their parents fight. This is why it is important that school counselors do look for signs of addiction and assess students properly so that counselors can identify if the student is having an issue with

School-based drug use prevention programs have been an important part of the United State’s anti drug campaign since the late 70’s. Although there have been many different programs of all shapes and sizes, none have been bigger or more iconic than the D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program. D.A.R.E. was created in 1983 by the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Unified School District. D.A.R.E. uses specially trained law enforcement officers to teach drug use prevention curriculum in elementary schools, and occasionally, in middle schools and high schools. The original curriculum focused on elements such as resistance, skill training, and self-esteem building, along with additional information on gangs and legal

I lived in Maryland until I moved in third grade. The school I went to was nothing like Hopkinton so moving here was a very big shock. A lot of the kids that I went to school with were very underprivileged and it had a large population of kids that had parents that may have been in jail or had a substance abuse problem. Many of the kids that I took the bus with didn’t have parents to greet them at the bus. My school was also a title one school. This means that my school was qualified to get funds for these families that were less fortunate. It was also a title one school due to the low test scores. A huge part of why they were such low scores was because of these kids home lives. Because of their home life, these kids would often act out in
