Drug Free Kids

WE CARE ABOUT KIDS!

By informing kids of the dangers and disadvantages of drugs, both legal and illegal, they will be able to make wise choices as they grow. Drugs alter the way your body and/or your mind operates.

IT'S BETTER TO TALK BEFORE CHILDREN ARE EXPOSED TO ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS

If you talk to your kids directly and honestly, they are more likely to respect your rules and advice about alcohol and drug use. When parents talk with their children early and often about alcohol and other drugs, they can protect their children from many of the high-risk behaviors associated with using these drugs.

​

NOT TALKING ABOUT ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS STILL SENDS KIDS A MESSAGE

Kids don’t always have all the facts when it comes to alcohol and other drugs. If parents don’t talk about the risks of underage drinking and substance use, their kids might not see any harm in trying alcohol and other substances. Having a conversation allows parents to set clear rules about what they expect from their kids when it comes to alcohol and other drugs.
