Title:
Youth Services Coordinator
The Open Minds Program is a 4-hour interactive workshop that provides education focused on reducing the risks posed by underage drinking. Young people referred to the workshop meet mandated requirements and are also challenged to examine their own patterns of alcohol use. Participants learn about the risks of drinking and come to understand the distinction between alcohol use, abuse and dependence. Participants also learn about social norms, which highlight the gap between students' perceptions of alcohol use among their peers, and how much their peers really consume. The result is that participants leave with ideas about how to reduce their risks, or they may also have self identified an alcohol or other drug problem if they have one. Most participants are referred by the court system, the disciplinary arm of their university or another authority. Students are typically referred after having been charged with an offense such as: underage drinking, attempting to purchase alcohol with a false I.D., public drunkenness, or a similar substance related violation. The Open Minds Workshop is a program offered by The Alcohol & Drug Council of Tompkins County that provides basic alcohol and addiction awareness education for young adults. Workshops are offered one Saturday a month from 8:30am to 12:30pm. Cost of attendance is 0.00. Call ADC for specific dates at (607) 274-6288.
