Re: Drugs and Alcohol - Dirty Little Secrets

All opinions with in this post are my personal opinions and are independent of the my team.

As a student I have seen other students* get into trouble with substances such as alcohol and other illegal drugs. It is my personal belief that if a student confides with a mentor about issues pertaining to drugs and alcohol, a mentor should work with the student to create a safe environment to get help. That said I also understand the risk a team can get into if issues arise with their school(s) and/or sponsoring organization(s).

I can only speak to what is know of my area from both rumor (which I take with a grain of salt) and policies which i have personally read. That said I know that my team is treated like a sports team in terms of a zero tolerance for substances.

What I am try to say here is that I personally believe that mentors should try to help students who come to them with substance problems in a way that gets students the help they need with out damaging the students future potential. At the same time they should try to keep the team as a whole in mind.
