Why and how we do what we do.
Parent Engagement
As adolescents strive to develop into responsible young adults, parents must be on the lookout for at-risk behaviors that could lead adolescents on a journey of unhealthy habits. The good news is, when concern and red flags arise, every parent is already equipped with the best tool—your voice! Our work and research tell us when parents listen and ask questions without judgment, they create a safe space for young people to invite them closer into their world.
Parent Toolkit
We hear from parents frequently that they feel unprepared to discuss certain topics with their children. Our Parent Toolkit provides a broad range of information, tips, and conversation starters to help parents navigate topics and situations with their children, including those that are hard to talk about. The toolkit includes subject matter and tools for every stage of development.
