Partnership Launches Time to Talk ? Campaign

In response to its recent findings in its annual Partnership Attitude Tracking Study (PATS), Partnership for a Drug-free America has launched the Time to Talk ™ Campaign and web site. Both are intended to equip, empower, and encourage parents in their efforts discuss the dangers of drug and alcohol use with their teens.
TimeToTalk.org offers parents manageable resources to help them feel empowered to speak with their kids about living healthy lives and to motivate constant communication among family members. The new web resource not only helps parents start the conversation, but encourages them to sustain it over time by providing easy-to-use tools, tips, information and support to help parents feel much more at ease.
Studies have shown that kids who learn about the risks of drugs and alcohol are 50 percent less like to experiment with substance use. Read more at MedicalNewsToday.com.

Back to School means Back to Drugs at School. Parent presence at school can help break the cycle. Talk to your kids, talk to other parents, talk to the school, talk to government about your expectations for and consequences of behavior, about parent networking to make sure kids are where they say they are, about what to do to abolish drug selling and drug taking at school, and about support and funding for mental health parity in insurance and funding for addiction studies and treatment programs.
