Using an I statement to approach your loved one can help to prevent them from becoming defensive. \u201cI care about your and I am really worried about your drinking.\u201d \u201d I notice you\u2019ve been drinking more than usual lately. What\u2019s going on?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Gather resources. Before talking with your friend, gather campus and community resources so that you can help direct your friend to those if they are ready- you can find many of these below.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid \u201cshould\u201d. Try to be non-judgmental and avoid telling them what they should or should not be doing. Don\u2019t say this: \u201cYou should just quit drinking.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Focus on health\u00a0and well-being rather than morality. Keep in mind that good people sometimes make unhealthy decisions.<\/li>\n<li>Ask questions. \u201cHow do you think your drinking might be affecting your well-being?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Find a private place\u00a0to discuss your concerns.<\/li>\n<li>Let go. Realize that neither you, nor anyone else, can MAKE another person do anything, even if the situation appears dire.<\/li>\n<li>Support them. Let them know that you can help them get an appointment with mental health or substance use treatment professionals. But remember you can\u2019t fix them.<\/li>\n<li>Consult the professionals. Health Promotion and Counseling Services can help you prepare for these tough conversations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/body><\/html>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- shortcode-accordion -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-accordion shortcode-accordion--closed\" style=\"position: relative;\" >\n        <h4 class=\"shortcode-accordion__header\">\n        <button type=\"button\" class=\"shortcode-accordion__trigger\" data-header=\"On campus resources_0\" id=\"shortcode-accordion-2-trigger\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"shortcode-accordion-2-panel\">\n            On campus resources\n            <span class=\"shortcode-accordion__header__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n        <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n    <div class=\"shortcode-accordion__body\" id=\"shortcode-accordion-2-panel\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"shortcode-accordion-2-trigger\" inert>\n        <html><body>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/campus-health-services\/campus-health-services\/\">Campus Health Services<\/a> includes medical, counseling, and behavioral health providers who are trained to assess substance use, provide non-judgmental feedback, and assist students in reducing their risk surrounding substance use.<\/li>\n<li>Health Promotion offers free screening programs and presentations throughout campus to help students assess their substance use.\u00a0 Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/campus-health-services\/health-promotion-event-calendar\/\">event calendar<\/a> to find out when our next event is, or <a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/campus-health-services\/request-a-presentation\/\">request a presentation<\/a> for your group (NAU community only).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/body><\/html>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- shortcode-accordion -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-accordion shortcode-accordion--closed\" style=\"position: relative;\" >\n        <h4 class=\"shortcode-accordion__header\">\n        <button type=\"button\" class=\"shortcode-accordion__trigger\" data-header=\"Flagstaff community resources_0\" id=\"shortcode-accordion-3-trigger\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"shortcode-accordion-3-panel\">\n            Flagstaff community resources\n            <span class=\"shortcode-accordion__header__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n        <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n    <div class=\"shortcode-accordion__body\" id=\"shortcode-accordion-3-panel\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"shortcode-accordion-3-trigger\" inert>\n        <html><body>\n<ul>\n<li>Northern Arizona Substance Abuse Services<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tgcaz.org\/services-substance-use-treatment.php\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Guidance Center<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Governor\u2019s Office of Youth, Faith and Family: <a href=\"http:\/\/substanceabuse.az.gov\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Prevention, Treatment and Recovery Locator Tool<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Coconino County Health and Human Services <a href=\"https:\/\/coconino.az.gov\/2040\/Opioid-and-Substance-Use-Prevention-and-\">Addiction Services<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/body><\/html>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- shortcode-accordion -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-accordion shortcode-accordion--closed\" style=\"position: relative;\" >\n        <h4 class=\"shortcode-accordion__header\">\n        <button type=\"button\" class=\"shortcode-accordion__trigger\" data-header=\"Online resources_0\" id=\"shortcode-accordion-4-trigger\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"shortcode-accordion-4-panel\">\n            Online resources\n            <span class=\"shortcode-accordion__header__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n        <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n    <div class=\"shortcode-accordion__body\" id=\"shortcode-accordion-4-panel\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"shortcode-accordion-4-trigger\" inert>\n        <html><body>\n<h5>Screening tools &amp; calculators<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drugfree.org\/\">DrugScreening.org<\/a>:\u00a0Take this online drug use assessment\u00a0to find out your risk level and get more information.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.responsibility.org\/drink-responsibly\/bac-calculator\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Virtual Bar<\/a>:\u00a0This website determines your BAC based on consumption patterns and risk reduction strategies and tells you how your night will go.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Read more<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Alcohol and Public Health: Learn about the impact of alcohol use on public health<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niaaa.nih.gov\/alcohol-health\/overview-alcohol-consumption\/moderate-binge-drinking\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Drinking Levels Defined<\/a>: What\u2019s the difference between binge drinking and heavy drinking?
