This toolkit contains seven booklets, a CD-ROM of screening forms, and a DVD with four case-study videos, all packaged in a sturdy cardboard holder, for use in creating individual, group, and family counseling interventions that can be used with young people up to age 25 in community or residential settings in Asia's Greater Mekong Subregion. The booklets offer step-by-step instructions and practical guidelines for assessment and action planning, stages of change and motivational interviewing, individual, group, and family counseling, and relapse prevention planning. The four case studies featured in the booklets and the additional five case studies on the video all illustrate the many factors associated with the development of substance abuse by young people in the region. The kit can be used for training counselors of varying backgrounds and different ages, including peer counselors, as well as social workers, administrators, and others who work with young drug users in community or residential settings.
