Methamphetamine Prevention & Intervention Toolkit (M.A.P.)

The Meth Amphetamine Prevention (M.A.P.) and Intervention Toolkit is one of five components that comprise the Harrisonburg, VA – Shenandoah Valley M.A.P. Bundle. The other bundle components are the M.A.P. Brochure, Fact Sheet, Presentation Slides, and Info-Video 4 Youth. This Toolkit will inform those who work in the best interest of youth, families, and communities about the dangers, warning signs, side effects, and consequences of methamphetamine (meth) use. It begins with a real-world story about meth use in the life of a teenager and then delves into a discussion about the need for prevention and early intervention. Next, the facts about meth and national and local meth statistics are highlighted. Finally, sections of the Toolkit address the substance’s risk and protective factors, evidence-based prevention programs, common warning signs, prevention resources, recovery services, support agencies, and a glossary of terms. Filled with crucial information, the entire M.A.P. bundle is a must-have for all stakeholders working in fields such as substance use prevention, intervention, and treatment; family strengthening; community health and wellness services; harm reduction; government, law enforcement; education; youth development and engagement; and other related arenas.
