with Mario Cossa, USA/Bali
Module 6. Sex and Drugs and Rock “n” Roll – Adolescents and addictions.
In this module presenter demonstrates how to develop more effective, and engaging approach than talking, to those who work with youth. He provides clear explanations and instructions for using action techniques from Psychodrama, Sociodrama, and Sociometry for working with this population.
Adolescence is a time when experimentation with drugs is often part of the social norm. Unfortunately, the changing sensitivities within the adolescent brain make it particularly susceptible to addiction. This module demonstrates practical action methods for supporting youth in understanding the process of addictions as well as for rehearsing sober behaviors.

Goal:
Identify the factors to consider on substance use issues, when working with youth, and facilitate a range of action activities for exploring substance use and abuse and practicing sober behaviors.
