Family Alcohol Handbook
Based on national research about college-student drinking, many students are likely to begin or increase alcohol use during the first six weeks of college. Parents and family members play a crucial role in shaping their college-bound student's attitudes and behaviors towards alcohol. Research suggests that students who talk with their parents or family members about alcohol avoidance strategies before the first year of college are more likely to avoid alcohol, limit its use and experience healthier outcomes during their college years and beyond.
Dr. Turrisi's handbook, "Parents Handbook for Talking with College Students About Alcohol," empowers parents and family members with the knowledge and tools they need to approach these conversations with confidence. By understanding the risks associated with alcohol use, recognizing signs of potential misuse or abuse, and fostering open communication and trust, parents can help guide their student towards responsible decision-making and healthier outcomes.
The guide has been made available by the BRICC Coalition.
