Each of the seven lessons presented here can be adapted for students through the sixth grade. The first lesson should be presented to all students at the end of a general drug prevention unit, in order to allow children the chance to recognize if they live in a substance abusing family. The subsequent six lessons should be taught to those self-identified students; they focus on choices, feelings, defense mechanisms, chemically dependent family structures, coping, and the celebration of growth. Each lesson plan includes main and secondary objectives, materials, procedures, and a lesson conclusion. 3 appendixes
