GHB and so called “Club and Recreational Drugs”
A unique collaboration has assumed the difficult task of educating Arkansas
youth/parents/educators about the dangers of using GHB and the other so
called “club and recreational drugs”. Members include a clinical
psychologist from The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Partners
in Health Sciences Program (Teachers Teaching Teachers), neurochemist from
The National Center for Toxicological Research, social worker from Arkansans
for Drug Free Youth, juvenile intake officer with the state Volunteer
Probation Officer agency, and concerned parents. Presentations about the
dangers of using these drugs using the latest technology such as interactive
video, streaming video, and VHS clips has generated considerable interest
among media, universities, schools, educators (across many disciplines), law
enforcement, parents, and youth across the State of Arkansas and beyond. Our
goal is to find a niche to continue this community outreach effort. To that
end, a local television station has expressed interest in pursuing a series
of vignettes about the dangers of these drugs under the direction of Dr.
Joseph Banken. We look forward to growing our involvement with Project GHB
and welcome any guidance from the more seasoned teams. Please contact us if
we can be of help to you. |
