Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
L'abus de drogues à l'adolescence est un comportement lié à des dysfonctionnement familiaux; l'école est susceptible d'identifier et d'aider ces adolescents à condition d'adapter des réponses systémiques et structurales. Différents modèles thérapeutiques peuvent être impulsés par l'école: thérapies familiales, groupe de parents, alcooliques anonymes. L'école devient un partenaire éducatif et soignant des familles confrontées à des adolescents toxicomanes. [Résumé Toxibase]
ENGLISH:
Over the years, the role of the American school has changed dramatically. Where once, the school was responsible only for providing academic education and education‐related counseling services, it now finds itself involved in the students' emotional and psychological development as well. With so many of today's families badly fractured by divorce, single‐parenthood, alienation, etc., students are seeking help with personal and familial problems previously dealt with in the home. Foremost among these problems is the alarming increase in adolescent substance abuse.
Although alcohol and drug education courses are commonplace, this paper proposes a two‐fold program for the expansion of the school's role in the identification and rehabilitation of the substance‐abusing student, and challenges the school to adopt new methods of response, based on the family systems theory.
