Intervention can mean many different things, and above all it should be a positive thing. For example, talking with your teen in a preventative manner is a form of intervention, as is approaching a friend who is struggling with meth and encouraging him or her to seek help. The following documents have been collected to provide insights regarding how to intervene in several different types of contexts. Please click on the downloadable files to view them. Some of them are scanned brochures produced by federal and state agencies, and original copies can be obtained at the Hastings Public Library.
Finally, some contents may be too graphic for younger viewers. Those documents whose title includes the word "graphic" contain pictures of the disturbing effects of meth on the body.

Children of Addicted Parents Education Support Group
Because one in four children is affected by alcohol abuse or alcoholism in their family and many, many more are hurt by parental drug use, this program is designed specifically to provide support for those children in our area. When programs provide educational support groups for children: family stress is reduced, children's sense of stigma and shame is reduced, family recovery is enhanced, and treatment outcomes improve.
For more information about this education support group, please email the coalition at team@riseabovemeth.org or view this Power Point.
If you are interested in enrolling a child please print off, complete, and return this questionnaire.
If you are interested in referring someone, please print off, complete, and return this referral form.
