Tips For Supporting A Teen After the Loss of a Close Friend

Please contact your students counselor if you need support

Eating Disorder Resources here

This is a difficult subject to talk about so it’s even more important to make sure students are aware of how using substances could play a role in sexual assault for males and females:
 
Using drugs/alcohol and possibly losing inhibitions/shyness & taking risks like having sex when you might not normally choose to; 
 
Not feeling like you could reject someone while using substances, which could also put you at risk for STD’s and/or pregnancy; 
 
Going to a party or gathering where someone could drug you without you knowing and then you might not have any memory of the assault because of the way the date rape drugs effect your brain’s short term memory (including getting flashbacks of the event/time) or make it seem like it didn’t happen.  Anything, even marijuana can be laced with date-rape drugs (water, soda, drinks, cigarettes, vapes).
 
Using substances may lower your inhibitions/shyness or make you aggressive and you assault someone because your state of mind is altered and maybe not having memory, full memory or distorted memory of it (which could lead to legal repercussions for your future goals).
 
Using with friends and because inhibitions are lowered, they all encourage you to have sex with someone whether they want to or not and make it seem ok or cool (which could have legal repercussions for your future goals).

If you need help and support, please call 911 or contact any of the listed crisis resources listed.
