Assignment: The Training Design Draft Part A: Training Outline
Your assignment is to prepare an outline draft for your final training design project. You have already completed much of the work. Your outline does not have to be as detailed as your final design, but it will form the basis of your training design and your participants agenda. This outline is not carved in stone, so you will be able to make edits throughout the semester, but you need to outline your training so you have a good idea of what you want to teach and how. Be sure to include titles of at least 3 training modules of approximately 30-90 minutes in length in addition to the introductory and closing modules (total 5). You have already completed and may edit and use your training title, need statement, goal, synopsis, objectives and the module you created. For each module, please provide a module title, duration, brief synopsis, 1-3 objectives, 1 or 2 methodologies, name(s) of handout(s) if any, and 1 or 2 procedures. Module 1 below has been sketched out for you, but you will need to fill in the details. Then follow that same pattern for the others. I have included a sample of an acceptable Harvard Outline format. Please follow this format in same order.
Training Title: Is Your Teens Life in Good Hands?
Need Statement: Teenagers are always in a constant struggle to establish their identities. Therefore, in the effort to overcome self-doubt and momentarily forget about their struggles, most teens end up indulging in alcohol abuse. Based on an array of researches, about 30 percent of teenagers have taken at least one drink before reaching the age of 15 years and the number increases to around 60 percent by the time most teenagers attain the age of 18 years (Waller et-al, 2019). Additionally, approximately 4 million young adults are reported to indulge in binge drinking at least once every month which eventually results in the habitual use of alcohol. As such, there is a great need to curb the rise of alcohol use among teenagers. The family is regarded as the fundamental unit in society hence having a major influence on childrens emotional and social development (Coatsworth & George, 2019). Therefore, parents behaviors and parenting styles directly affect the childrens behaviors, abilities, and self-esteem. Children who grow up under positive parenting are more likely to possess lower behavioral problems hence more likely to overcome temptations to alcohol abuse. On the other hand, children who undergo negative parenting such as rejection are more likely to become alcoholics.

Your overall training goal: To provide parents with the knowledge and skills to enhance family bonds and strengthen parents to prevent teen substance abuse.
Training Synopsis: Generally, parents have a major impact on their childrens decision not to use drugs hence the need to equip parents with the appropriate parenting skills to help reduce the rate of alcohol abuse among teenagers. Therefore, this training is aimed at providing parents with the knowledge and skills to enhance family bonds and strengthen parents in helping curb alcoholism among teenagers. The training involves strategies aimed at enhancing positive family relationships, family observation and management and communication of family principles and anticipations (Meja et-al, 2019). This training is further aimed at strengthening parenting skills such as increasing emotional attachment, increased communication, problem-solving skills, and family management practices. The training will provide opportunities for the parents to bond with their children by spending positive time together. The program will combine; efforts to shape family management by training parents to enhance their parenting skills and further incorporating family practice sessions. That is, sessions will involve parents attending their training groups and eventually combining the parents and children for practice sessions to monitor progress.
