Parent Education

Parent education is a vital component of my work. I provide parents with valuable insights into increasing protective factors and reducing risk factors related to substance misuse. Educated parents are better equipped to recognize signs of drug use or experimentation in their teens, enabling them to intervene early and prevent escalation into more serious substance abuse issues.

By understanding the facts about drugs, parents can engage in open, honest conversations with their teens about the risks and consequences associated with substance abuse. Through effective communication and fostering a supportive family environment, educated parents serve as positive role models for their teens, helping them build resilience and make healthy choices.
