Book excerpt: A RAW, FUNNY, HELPING HAND OF A BOOK, BY THE CO-PRESENTER OF BBC RADIO 5 LIVE'S PODCAST HOOKED: THE UNEXPECTED ADDICTS. 'Unique, honest, witty, occasionally shocking, you need this uplifting, amazing book in your life.' Steve Bland, You, Me and the Big C 'I don't know if I was born with it, caught it or bought it; I just know that, at some point in my life, a line was crossed: I needed a drink to get through life, to calm the nerves and quiet the head, and I became reliant on alcohol to change how I felt.' Sobering is the story of an insecure teenager turned Liverpudlian party girl, schoolteacher turned alcoholic and now recovering alcoholic turned award-winning podcaster. Melissa's story is as dramatic as her unique voice, but her message is universal: mental health issues often drive vulnerable people to addiction and working on mental health and personal development can help recovery. Written with the expert help of rehab and addiction specialists, and with insights from other recovering alcoholics and addicts, Sobering covers everything from denial, isolation and shame to getting help and rebuilding relationships. This is a personal story with a mission: to help anyone worried about their drinking to understand themselves and move forward with wisdom to make that hardest decision of all – to stay sober. 'Melissa's unique combination of authenticity, personal experience and humour makes for an incredibly refreshing take on addiction and recovery. A much-needed book that will help individuals to find hope and society to rethink substance misuse.' Shahroo Izadi, author of The Kindness Method

Book Synopsis Sobering Consent by : Alex Von Anderson

Download or read book Sobering Consent written by Alex Von Anderson. This book was released on 2017-10-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High school and college are life-changing events for young people. Freedom, educational opportunities and new relationships await. However, very few students are entering the educational arena with the training they need to protect themselves from sexual violence and sexual predators. Studies consistently show that female students are sexually assaulted at significant rates, and what is often less reported, male students are also victims of sexual assault, and men are at risk of being falsely accused of sexual assault. Sobering Consent: Sexual Assault, Rape and False Claims-4 Lessons Every Student, Parent and Educator Must Learn provides readers with a simple explanation of the law, and offers important strategies to prevent student sexual violence. Part One-Consent-tells four short stories that are inspired by real criminal cases. After reading this section, students will clearly understand what sexual consent means, how to be sure that sex is consensual, and how alcohol affects consent and sexual assault claims. Part Two-On-Campus Sexual Assault-explains the legal framework that schools must follow to educate their students about sexual assault, adjudicate claims and provide students with resources and support. Inspired by real criminal cases, Part Two of the book tells the story of three "he said/she said" cases to explain the tension between victims' rights and due process rights. This section provides readers with critical information to successfully navigate this tumultuous issue. Part Three-Law Enforcement-explains rape myths and rape biases, and their effects on law enforcement. Understanding law enforcement is necessary for students, parents and most importantly educators. Part Four -Solutions-offers illuminating ways that students can mitigate their risk of sexual assault and false claims by creating mental models to protect themselves from danger. Mental models prepare students to make split-second decisions under stress. This section also offers solutions that institutions and institutional leaders can implement. The author earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California at Berkeley, a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of California at Los Angeles School of Law, and is licensed to practice law in multiple states.

Book Synopsis Reducing Underage Drinking by : Institute of Medicine

Download or read book Reducing Underage Drinking written by Institute of Medicine. This book was released on 2004-03-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to themselves and society at large. Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks â€" and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive? What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment in youth health and safety.
