About this book

Few things worry parents, grandparents, and other caregivers more than the prospect of children using alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs. They know youth under their charge spend many hours each day out of their sight and are subject to influences they can't control. Youth may be encouraged by their peers to try marijuana, try inhalants, or misuse prescription drugs. Media often link alcohol use with fun and excitement and with being popular and sophisticated. Dangers seem to lurk everywhere. Keeping Youth DRUG FREE, a publication of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, features guidelines to help parents and caregivers talk about this topic with their children. It also provides information on what to know and what to do to help parents understand and pro-actively serve the best interest of their children.
