TAKING CHARGE OF MY MIND AND BODY: A
Girls' Guide to Outsmarting Alcohol, Drug, Smoking, and Eating Problems
by Gladys Folkers, M.A., and Jeanne Engelmann.
More girls than ever are using (and abusing) alcohol, nicotine, and other drugs. More
girls than boys have problems with anorexia, bulimia, and compulsive eating. That's why
this book is especially for girls and young women. In first-person stories and clear,
understandable language, backed by current research and findings, it empowers and
encourages them to
make responsible choices about how to treat their minds and bodies. It tells the truth
about addictions, sheds light on mistaken beliefs
that can lead to risky experimentation, and gives girls the skills and knowledge they need
to stay healthy and strong. Resources point the way toward hotlines, organizations, and
Websites that provide additional information and support. Includes reproducibles. 208 pp.,
illust., S/C, 6" x 9". Ages 11-18.
