Using Motivational Interviewing to Engage Youth in Healthy Conversations About Alcohol
Report, 2022
If you work with youth aged 14-24, you have an opportunity to support young people during a period of tremendous growth, development, and transition. In your role(s), you can help to guide youth to make decisions that will support their health and well-being now and as they transition into adulthood and greater independence. This module introduces motivational interviewing skills and strategies that can help those working with youth to engage them in conversations about their health and well-being. Engaged youth are those that feel valued and empowered to make their own decisions about their well-being, engage in healthy conversations, seek support, and share information with peers.

Picture This: Life as a Parent of Children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
Video, 2008
This film gives a close-up look into the lives of parents whose children have FASD. It was created by five courageous women from Sioux Lookout, Ontario. They are all members of the Healthy Generations Family Support Program. It is a very powerful, very honest window into their lives.
This film began as a photovoice research project. Each woman was asked to take photos that provide a look into her life as a parent of a child with FASD and to write a narrative about the photo. The National Film Board of Canada’s CITIZENShift assisted by making the photos and the narratives into this short film.
