Parent Resources

Our mission is to prevent youth substance use and promote mental health, but so many other factors play a role in overall wellness and prevention.

Parents have a lot on their plates and we hope these resources make it easier to have conversations with your child or gain more knowledge on a particular topic. We regularly update this page with resources we feel are important to the health and wellbeing of our youth and trends we are noticing, like caffeine consumption and screentime.
