HCHY List: Search Institute Press is looking for your opinion--abook on Substance Abuse

[Meg Crady]

Diedra -
  I like your thoughts --
  May I ask your ideas on also including prescription drugs? Currently where
I live there is a HUGE problem with abuse from drugs readily available in
tweens & teens homes.
