Minimize Risk, Maximize Life is a low-risk drinking course for adults who would like to learn about reducing the risk of problems related to alcohol consumption, for themselves or their loved ones.

The goal of this course is to awaken an inner reflection that recognizes that behavior change, when necessary is possible and how making that change enhances wellness and the quality of life. Registration is recommended.

This two-hour course approaches Motivational Interviewing and Stages of Change Theory present in a group setting. Both use the concept of self-efficacy - the situation-specific confidence that people possess while making changes when desired and/or necessary. Both theories recognize that change is a process, not a one-time event, and an individual's readiness for change impacts their actions.

This course seeks to help participants think differently about their alcohol use behavior and ultimately consider what might be gained through adopting or maintaining low-risk drinking choices.

This program is a partnership with the Delaware Public Health District to address the Health District's latest Community Health Assessment from 2022. Data showed that 33% of Delaware County adults were considered binge drinkers.

About the branch

The 35,000 square foot Delaware Main Library is the oldest branch of our library system, which serves the public as well as houses a majority of our administrative offices. Located around the corner from downtown Delaware, it serves as our central branch for those on foot as well as those in a rush. 


The Main Library also hosts the Delaware County Genealogical Society. Genealogical Society volunteers are in the Library to assist researchers on limited dates and by appointment. 

 

DCDL welcomes all people to our programs and events. If you require ASL interpretation or other reasonable accommodations, please contact us at pr@delawarelibrary.org.
