Teens and Drug Use: School Regulations and Counseling Practices for Teachers

Faced with legal reforms and paradigm shifts, practitioners constantly oscillate between different knowledge claims and practical operations as they discard the old and establish the new, exploring strategies and paths that respond to Taiwan's local stories.

This book brings together partners who have long cultivated youth work, ranging from theater workers, juvenile investigation and protection officers, counseling psychologists, guidance teachers, peers with lived experience, university professors, lawyers, to social workers, jointly focusing on school-based early intervention measures.

Through personal accounts, it proposes frameworks for thinking about issues, grounded in legal and counseling knowledge, providing frontline teachers with a common language to describe phenomena and problems while avoiding running afoul of the law. Through the sharing of experiences and stories, it stimulates further imagination and approaches.
