The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration launched a campaign today that aims to get parents talking with their children about alcohol.
There’s practical advice, such as never serving alcohol to teens in your home, and making it clear that you don’t want your child drinking at parties or getting in a car with a driver who’s been drinking. The toolkit includes scripts for discussing touchy subjects like why it’s OK for parents to drink & a parent-child pledge. Practice videos that help parents rehearse those little chats will come along this summer.
