Steps You Can Take Today

Small actions, big impact. Here’s how to show up for the young people in your life.

  1. Give Information

    Make sure your kids know the power and danger of drugs.

  2. Share Knowledge

    Know where your kids are going, who they will be with, and what kind of supervision there will be.

  3. Keep It Real

    Maintain open communication. Watch for behavior changes. Listen without judgment so your kids feel safe coming to you with problems.

  4. Keep Them Busy

    Help them get a job, arrange activities with friends, plan trips to see family, etc.

  5. Love Them

    Show them how much you care and give them praise for the good things they do.

  6. Be a Good Example

    Model the behavior you want to see. And if you or someone you know needs professional help, seek it.
