BSHS 455    Week 2 Learning Team Assignment Functioning Addicts Presentation

Instructions:

In this assignment, you will work as a team to challenge the

misconceptions of addiction. You will also identify the impact of

addiction on the family, workplace, and community. For this

assignment, work together as though you currently work at a

community agency and have been asked to give a talk to a local high

school.

Choose a character from a movie or TV series who is a functioning

addict to serve as the basis for your talk.

Debate the relevancy of the character's addiction on relationships and

overall functioning.

Create a brief 5- to 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation that

explores this issue.

Discuss the following questions in your presentation:

• Can a person be a functioning addict? What would this look like?
• How might a functioning addict be exhibited in a family, workplace,

and community?

• What are some long-term effects of a functioning addict, on the

individual, family, and community?

• Are the problems any different from what families not facing issues

with addiction may face? If so, how?

Format any citations within your presentation according to APA

guidelines.
