New Navajo, Russian Publications Available

SAMHSA recently introduced several new Multi-Language Initiative (MLI) products. Available in Navajo and Russian, the various publications offer information on inhalants, substance abuse treatment, and childhood abuse issues.

Developed by SAMHSA’s Center for Substance Abuse Treatment through its Knowledge Application Program (KAP), the products are translated and culturally adapted for each specific audience.

These publications are the latest in the MLI series, which provides substance abuse prevention and treatment topics for people who do not speak English or have limited English-language abilities.

The new Navajo-language brochures focus on the dangers of inhalant use. The following products are available online:

• Tips for Teens: The Truth About Inhalants

• Mind Over Matter Series: The Brain’s Response to Inhalants

• Inhalant Abuse: Your Child at Risk!

• A Parent’s Guide to Preventing Inhalant Abuse.

Two new Russian-language booklets also are available online:

• What Is Substance Abuse Treatment? A Booklet for Families

• Helping Yourself Heal: A Recovering Woman’s Guide to Coping With Childhood Abuse Issues.
