CHAT DAY 2009
Our third annual Drug Facts Chat Day will be November 10, 2009. Mark your calendars!
Registration for NIDA's annual Drug Facts Chat Day is now closed due to full capacity. Schools were registered on a first come first serve basis. For unregistered schools, Drug Facts Chat Day can still provide your students with a terrific learning experience. Schools will have the opportunity to observe NIDA scientists answer student's questions from across the country. The chat will also include factoids and quizzes about drug abuse and addiction.
The transcripts of past chats are available for those who may have missed seeing your question answered, or just want to see what students in other parts of the United States were asking us.
See you on November 10th!
Past Chat Days
If you or a friend needs help with a drug problem...
The best way for someone to stop using drugs is to get treatment from a doctor or other health professional. The sooner they get treatment the better are their hopes for recovery.
If you are in crisis and need to speak with someone immediately, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (they don't just talk about suicide, they cover a lot of issues and will help put you in touch with someone close by).
For more on treatment and where you can find it, you can call the Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator at 1-800-662-HELP or go to their website at www.findtreatment.samhsa.gov. Talking about your drug use can be uncomfortable, but it can help to reach out to a trusted family member, teacher or coach.
The creative students at Rockville High School (RHS) in Rockville, Maryland created this Drug Facts Chat Day promotion for their morning announcements.
RHS opened its media center so kids could go in throughout the day and post questions. Now the student leaders offer some of our scientists’ answers once a week during morning announcements. Go Rams!
