Effective prevention involves a variety of positive steps parents can use right in their own home.
Learn the facts, warning signs and risk factors. Knowing the facts helps parents discuss the risks of alchol and other drugs and lets them give their children current and correct information. Well-informed parents are also better prepared to recognize signs of alcohol or drug use in their children and step in quickly to provide assistance. Plan a Meeting about Drug Awareness. Visit the Leaders' Library for resources about Drug Awareness.
