Parents and Prevention
It is well documented that parents play the most vital role in whether or not their children abuse drugs or alcohol. But many parents are ill-informed about the nature of substance abuse and how it impacts their children.
Many parents:
- Believe that alcohol/drug abuse is a national problem, but may be unaware their own children are at risk.
- May be unaware their own children are exposed to drugs/alcohol at an early age.
- May have little information about drugs and their effects.
- May find it difficult to talk to their children about drugs.
- May think their children don’t have the money for drugs.
- May accept limited drug use among adults.
- Usually abstain from drug or excessive alcohol use.
- Believe parents should take the lead in preventing drug use by their own children.
More Parent Prevention Resources:
- Visit the Parents, the anti drug. website. It features valuable information and a free parents newsletter.
