Heroin
Kids: Dying for Help
Runner Up
of the 2000 National Council on Family Relations Media Awards
"I lost
my freedom; I lost friends; I lost money; I lost self-respect. . . I lost
everything." - Daniel
"Looking
back, I wish I'd never even known what heroin was. I'm an addict now,
and I always will be. The mental addiction never goes away." - Matt
"I knew
about my sister's drug use all along, and then she ended up dying. I should
have told someone." - David
Heroin Kids:
Dying for Help tells the truth and consequences of heroin use in language
that kids understand. The video includes compelling accounts from young
people recovering from heroin addiction, family members who have lost
a loved one to a heroin overdose and an emergency room doctor who has
seen the devastating effects of heroin use. Combining the hard-edged facts
with personal experiences, the video explores the physical, emotional
and mental losses that accompany heroin use. It also addresses the issue
of what young people should do if they know that a friend or family member
is experimenting with drugs. A Discussion Guide will be included with
each video.
