Smoking Cessation. Alcohol Abuse. Peer Pressure. Violence. Depression. Self Esteem. Conflict Resolution. Saying No. Students today have more to deal with than before and they have to start dealing with serious issues at a younger age now as well. Education and access to information on substance abuse and related issues, at any age, can benefit students by helping them make better and safer choices.

The Audio Health Library was developed by IDAP Information Systems in conjunction with some of the most recognized health organizations in the world, such as the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Mental Health Association, the National Institute on Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse, and Partnership for a Drug Free America, to name just a few. It was developed in 1981 as part of the Just Say No campaign.

Through the years, IDAP’s Audio Health Library has developed to include several hundred topics from alcoholism to peer pressure to anger management. As issues such as HIV or domestic violence have become more prevalent in our society, the IDAP library has grown to reflect today’s information needs.

The Audio Health Library enables people of all ages and education levels to listen to informational messages on a variety of topics in an anonymous and confidential nature. Being available 24/7 also means that people can listen to this information when they need it the most -- on their own time schedule. In addition to listening to informational messages on a variety of topics, the caller can also listen to ‘referral’ information on where to go for more information or for assistance.

Through the Audio Health Library, important information is at your students’ fingertips at all times.
