The Addiction Research Foundation regional offices/consultants (now the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health) can help public health, teachers, etc. with finding appropriate resources to match these particular pieces of the curriculum. There are a few "oldies but goodies", such as Dr. Finlay's pharmacy and the Dr. Cooper series, available through the ARF library. In your area, the program consultant is Suzanne Witt, who can be reached at 905-690-2238 or [log in to unmask] We have also been thinking about trying to develop some quick lesson plans that might help people who are implementing the new curriculum. If others think this might be a useful resource for Ontario, I'd be pleased to hear your feedback. >>> "Murphy, Lawrence" <[log in to unmask]> 01/28/99 03:41pm >>> Hi folks, My name is Lawrence Murphy and I have recently joined this listserv. I thought that I would introduce myself. Also, I have a question about Ontario curriculum. But first...I am the new substance abuse prevention programer in the Hamilton-Wentworth Health Department. I am recently returned to Ontario, having spent the last decade in BC (with Surrey OPC as a therapist) and Saskatchewan (with Cardwell Human Resources as a therapist and corporate consultant). I am just getting my feet wet, so I am meeting with all and sundry, reviewing literature, and planning. I'm looking forward to contributing to the list. My question is a follow-up to a previous curriculum question. Ontario requires grade 1 and 2 curriculum to be focused on recognizing medecines, non-prescription vs prescription, outlining safe use of medecines and the like. Anyone out there know of any resources available? Anyone heard of a video called Mr. Finley's Pharmacy? Thanks in advance.
