Parents, teachers, caregivers alike recognize that to keep their children drug free they  have to talk to them about drugs. However, that's challenging for most and many admit they don't know what to say. For this reason, the Office of National Drug Control Policy has put together a brochure: Keeping Your Kids Drug Free: A How To Guide For Parents and Other Caregivers. The brochure provides strategies and ideas for staying involved in kids' lives and provides ideas on what to say when talking to children about drugs. The brochures are free and available by contact PREVENT! at 259-7262.
