A
- Favorable comments from addicts and non-addicts.
- Excellent content but too mature for my 6th graders.
- Very informative.
- One person said "the lightbulb came on on how alcoholism is a disease vs. a choice". Never "got it" before. Experienced staff person had several myths dispelled. Good stuff!
- Good info--a little "dry" in presentation.
- Insightful to hear clinicians and clients duscuss the issues of diagnosis and treatment for substance abuse and mental illness.
- It was entertaining, but somewhat lacking in information.
Advertising Alcohol : Calling the Shots Update
- Adult oriented video that looks at unhealthy messages from the media regarding alcoholism. Very good.
- Really stimulates discussion.
- I use this video in a (12th grade) class I teach called "Culture and Gender". I have found it very useful in the analysis of gender depiction of men and women.
- This is a terrific video to introduce students (college) to the problem of alcohol abuse and alcohol advertising.
- A good video on the basics of alcohol's effect on the body.
- Nice overview. Actually enjoyable, yet educational.
- Dr. Pursch is a bit hard to understand at first, but easier as the video progresses. Info and visuals are good. Personally, I like Pursch's dry humor.
- This is by far the most excellent film I have seen on alcohol for teens.
- Well received. Good stories.
- Delbert Boone really makes great tapes. My patients enjoy them very much and they are also good for counselors to see.

Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue

The Cat Who Drank and Used Too Much

Chalk Talk on Alcohol - Revised
- Held their (college students) interest. They wanted to view it again.
- A classic - Simple and profound.
- Consistently effective presentation.
- Patients got a lot out of this film.
Choices : Stories From the Maine State Prison
- Shows the reality of poor choices.
- It was great that the video was made in Maine. Gave the patients something to think about/relate to.
- Helpful perspective. Used film to generate dialogue and self-reflection
Coping With Cravings and Thoughts of Using
- Very practical, easy to relate to.
- Good for young people and their parents to recognize phases in using/abusing alcohol.
- Great message - corny acting.
Cruel Spirits : Alcohol and Violence
- This gets peoples attention!
- This video is so effective, I'm probably going to wear it out.
- This is an excellent video. Clients have noticed it's dated via hair styles and clothing...
D
- This was an excellent film for introducing the concept of denial.
- Good content. Excellent questions.
Drinking and Driving : the Toll, the Tears
- Excellent movie. I haven't seen one better on this subject.
- Details ; even pacing. Generated discussions and student (middle/high school) comment for 2 days.
- Many of the viewers have experienced injury/loss of a loved one due to substance abuse. A good discussion followed the viewing. I like the attached information packet.
