Glen and Laura ask a counselor what they can do to help protect their teenage son, Jason, from abusing drugs. What might the counselor suggest?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The counselor might suggest involving Jason in a religious group as being a part of a community with shared values and norms can provide a sense of belonging and reduce the likelihood of drug abuse. However, it is important to note that this is not a guaranteed solution and other preventive measures may also need to be taken. Enrolling Jason in a private school or getting him an after-school job may not necessarily prevent him from abusing drugs. Punishing deviance very heavily may also not be effective in the long-term and can potentially harm the parent-child relationship.
