Q: Tell me about The Alchol Class
A: Outcome Alternatives® provides a four (4) hour alcohol awareness/alcohol education class. The Alcohol Class curriculum is based on current alcohol research and information. Our alcohol education class teaches about the history of alcohol and associated attitudes and problems, it puts into context why alcohol is so commonly a concern, the "levels of use" are identified and the student's "level of use" is screened. The common risk factors are identified and the student is encouraged to ponder his or her attitudes, values and beliefs about underage drinking. The class is presented in an objective and nonjudgmental way and no attempt is made to change or sway the student. A key component of a meaningful alcohol education class is to educate the student about the refusal skills, strategy and techniques. The Alcohol Class uses a cognitive restructuring approach which, very simply stated, follows the tenant of Norman Vincent Peale (1898 - 1993): "Change your thoughts and you will change your world." Our alcohol education class asks the student to explore their attitudes, values and beliefs. This class asks the student to figure out what they believe, who they are and to identify their value system.
Q: What are you going to try to do to me in your MIP Alcohol Awareness Class?
A: Strangely enough this question is quite important! It is of high importance to Outcome Alternatives® that we don't try to do anything to you. Our alcohol education class does not try to fix or change you. Our alcohol awareness classes do not judge you. The Alcohol Class does not try to force anything on you and has no intent of imposing change or our values on you. Critical to the values of Outcome Alternatives® is the need to: a) be respectful of the student, b) not be judgmental of the student, c) not try to impose "the truth" on the alcohol class student and d) not try to impose change on the student. Our MIP alcohol class is education oriented and works under the assumption that if you learn you will change your thoughts. If you change your thoughts you will change your behavior, your life and your world. Yes, with great confidence we are strong believers in education, we attribute education to have converted the human animal to the human being. Any change that comes as a result of taking our alcohol education/awareness class is change that the student makes. We can take credit for providing meaningful information; the student needs to take credit for any changes he or she makes.
Q: Are there added costs or other things to buy?
A: The Alcohol Class is 100% online. There are no additional items to buy and there are no added costs. Our workbook class (taking the class though the mail and a paper workbook) costs more because of printing, binding, handling and shipping costs.
Q: Will this education/awareness class be accepted by the person who referred me to an alcohol education class?
A: Outcome Alternatives® is a nationwide premier provider of online classes and has been accepted in every state in the country. That said, there is no national standard for alcohol educationt classes and any judge, probation officer, school or employer can accept an alcohol education class or reject it. We do offer a money back guarantee (be sure to read the details) if our alcohol education class is not accepted. Of course! If your specific court is not familiar with our program you may wish to print our court approval documentation, (click here to get document) to give them further information.
Q: How do I get my Alcohol Awareness Class completion certificate?
