With primary funding from the Metropolitan Life Foundation, the Scaife Family Foundation, and the Hearst Foundation, Phoenix House and its affiliates, the Children of Alcoholics Foundation (COAF) and the American Council for Drug Education (ACDE), launched its national campus initiative, Facts on Tap in October of 1998. Now with over 800 colleges participating in the program, Facts on Tap is one of the country's most versatile and innovative prevention strategies.
The program, with its materials, training, and technical support, is designed to enhance campus-based alcohol prevention efforts. Whether infused into an existing prevention program or acting as a foundation for a new effort, Facts on Tap allows prevention professionals to have the tools they need to reach all students and the professionals that work with them.
Facts on Tap is one of the original college alcohol education, prevention, and intervention program to address drinking on university campuses, including materials for Children of Alcoholics on campus. Hard-hitting, frank, and informative materials provide the tools to reach the student populations.
Our popular Awareness Mini-magazine Series for this population includes The College Experience?: Alcohol and Student Life, A Risky Relationship: Alcohol and Sex, The Naked Truth: Alcohol and the Body, The Non-Alcoholic Hangover: When Someone Else's Drinking Gives YOU a Headache, The Road Trip: Alcohol, Drugs, and Commuter Life, and The Drug Deal: Drugs and Your College Experience, The Deal with Marijuana, and The Wrong Prescription.
Facts on Tap is the only program available that addresses the one in four college students who are children of alcoholic or substance abusing parents. To help these students we provide the six workshop "Options Training Curriculum" (with a supplemental piece on how to start, run, and evaluate a support group on your campus), the informational "Do You Ever . . .?" Brochures, the in-depth "Life Lessons" Handbooks, and the versatile "Going Home?" Wallet Cards
ACDE and COAF ACDE and COAF staff provide technical assistance and training in order to best integrate the program onto your campus. In addition, our staff is also available for personalized technical assistance and training workshops at a nominal fee (covers the cost of travel and staff time).
Pricing is quoted on an individual basis to fit the needs of the group requesting services. Contact Bessie Oster at (646) 505-2062 for more information.
