www.CheckYourself.com is a unique resource. It’s a place for older teens
to think in a focused way about their relationship with drugs and
alcohol, and invites them to consider whether their substance use
risks turning into a problem for them.
The site allows visitors to "look in the mirror" by answering quiz
questions about their lifestyle, reading first-person stories,
communicating with other teens, and playing decision games to see
how they might act in situations involving drugs and alcohol.
www.CheckYourself.com also gives teens a voice by allowing them to share
their own “moments of truth” stories. Most importantly, visitors
will be able to get factual answers to questions about substance
abuse, learn how to talk about their concerns with people who can
help them, and get information about counseling and treatment
facilities. www.CheckYourself.com also offers stickers that can be
downloaded and printed onto standard size sheets of labels and
traditional banners for teens to use on web logs and other personal
sites.
Support for the www.CheckYourself.com is provided from the Partnership
for a Drug-Free America. The Partnership gives the factual
information about drugs and alcohol and monitors postings to make
sure they comply with the terms of use, but
www.CheckYoursef.com is
designed to be a unique, evolving and independent resource where
teens can communicate with and learn from each other. |
