We know what you're going through, and we can help
“I personally dealt with substance abuse myself and as the parent of a son who struggled with drugs and alcohol. Research shows that 90% of people with a substance problem began using before the age of 18. But there’s good news, because 80% of teens say their parents are the biggest influence on those decisions.
We have done the research to identify the most effective things you can do to help your kids. Too many teenagers are being hurt, or worse, and families are being torn apart. Don’t make the mistakes that many parents have made. Become a more proactive parent!”
