Methamphetamine in Wisconsin
What can you do?
We encourage all Wisconsin citizens to arm themselves with information about
this threat and fight it.
PARENTS:
- Parents must understand that they -- not the government -- can make the
biggest difference in children's attitudes and values. Teens whose parents
talk to them about drugs are half as likely to use drugs as those whose
parents do not.
SCHOOLS:
- Students are the community of the future. Schools should assess the
extent of the drug problem in their schools and be straightforward with the
community on the results of that assessment.
- Establish specific rules regarding drug use, including strong corrective
action. Adopt/develop a curriculum that provides students with a knowledge
base of what drugs do to their brains, and how drugs affect their lives and
the lives of their families and communities.
- chools should also coordinate with health care centers and look to the
community and law enforcement for support of their efforts.
COMMUNITY:
- We need to increase community-based collaboration. Partnerships
linking schools, businesses, health care providers, prevention experts, law
enforcement and other government agencies increase the quality and
cost-effectiveness of our efforts due to pooling of resources.
