Parents
Want your child to grow up drug free?
Get involved in your child's life!
Know your child's wants, needs, fears, and dreams. Know your
child's friends, foes, likes and dislikes.
The more you show you care about your child's life by asking
questions, the less chance that he or she will get involved with
alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
Refer to this section often for helpful tips on the following:
- Steps to take to prevent your child from using alcohol and other drugs.
- How to recognize whether or not your child has a substance abuse problem.
- The damaging effects substance abuse can have on your family.
- Where you can turn for help if your child does have a problem.
Also remember to refer to our confidential Ask Youth First forum to ask your own questions and to see questions other concerned parents like yourself have asked Youth First's council of experts.
Youth First’s mission is to strengthen youth and families through evidence-based programs that prevent substance abuse, promote healthy behaviors, and maximize student success.
