Dear Colleagues,
According to the white paper, Family Matters: Substance Abuse and
the American Family, released by The National Center on Addiction
and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University, parents who use
illegal drugs, abuse alcohol, and use tobacco put half the nation's
children - more than 35 million of them - at greater risk of
substance abuse and of physical and mental illnesses. Today's
newsletter focuses on a variety of addictions.
Please feel free to forward this information to professional colleagues, who can sign-up for a free subscription to Friday's Progress Notes at http://www.athealth.com/Practitioner/Newsletter/fpn_subscribe.html
