“It’s important to have open and honest conversations with your teen to right size expectations.” – Student in Delta program
Local parents and students in Delta teamed up to create an online Party Tool Kit for Parents to help teens feel safer–and be safer–at social gatherings. It’s a one-stop resource that includes teen-approved activities, suggestions for party hosts, and info on local laws.
There is also a video presentation by DHS students on what students think about alcohol/marijuana at parties, how it gets there and what you can do about it. According to their survey of 181 DHS & HPHS students:
- Most prefer going to parties that don’t have alcohol (59%) or marijuana (70%)
- 26% of alcohol at parties is purchased with a fake ID
- 24% of alcohol is provided by a parent
