Support healthy, drug-free programming for our tweens and teens
Two-thirds of youth ages 13-17 say losing their parents’ respect is one of the main reasons they don’t smoke marijuana or use other drugs.
Talking with your kids about drugs and alcohol is not a one-time conversation. It’s an ongoing discussion with your child that changes as they mature.
It’s not one 60-minute conversation.
It’s 60 one-minute conversations.
It is never too early to talk to your kids about drugs, alcohol, and vapes.
Your contribution directly benefits youth in your own community, including the LEAD Drug-Free Youth Coalitions at Deerfield and Highland Park High Schools, prevention activities at the middle schools, resources for parents and community-wide efforts.
