Communication, Information, Education and Participation

Children are less at-risk when:

Parents communicate their expectations
Adults listen, spend time with them and tell them not to use
They feel like their community cares about them
They have something positive to do with their time

You may feel like there's nothing you can do, but children are listening and they will hear you. So send them positive messages about their role in the community and about staying substance-free. Get involved in helping children make the right choices.
